From @stephmachado.bsky.social: An email from the National Institute of Health said that a $1.1 million grant for biomedical research at @universityofri.bsky.social was terminated immediately. The NIH said diversity, equity and inclusion "harms the health of Americans."

Welp. It happened. Our NIH training grant was terminated on Friday.
Just highlighting this incredibly derisive language used in our termination notice.
To focus on the positives, see some of the great things our undergraduates have done over the last couple of years: web.uri.edu/esteemed/
