Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.
6. The policy does not just affect funding going forward. All existing NIH grants will have their indirect rates cut to 15% as of today, the date of issuance.

For a large university, this creates a sudden and catastrophic shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars against already budgeted funds.

🚨 Thrilled to share that my first first-author paper is being published! Huge gratitude to my co-authors & the residents who bravely shared their experiences.

This work underscores the urgent need to confront systemic drivers of healthcare burnout, from workplace violence to institutional gaps.

2024 was a year full of challenges, but it was worth every moment.

I’m excited for what lies ahead and look forward to make new connections here!
