If “indefinitely” just means suspended for Trumps presidency, there will be a trickle down effect into the next generation of scientists who will flock to industry or drop out of graduate school. NIH funded K awards are one of the main tracks that fresh doctors get on the research track.
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
