Me, a PI at a Hispanic-serving institution, staring at my R15 resubmission while the administration guts minority access programs and grants that open doors for URM students. We can’t give up.

Absolute insanity. Many research labs are in PUIs or SLACs that rely on programs like BRC-BIO to mentor undergraduate researchers, many of whom are first-generation/URM. This administration just sent a clear message that the lived experiences and struggles of minorities in science don’t matter.
