I hope in future years, CDMRP restores funds for OCRP and other programs. This is defunding of cancer research, and also focuses on our veterans. But this will be an uphill battle. Please contact your state representatives to let them know you would like your dollars to continue funding research!

DOD CDMRP funding in future years is expected to be greatly reduced, including a 67% reduction in OCRP program funding in the next fiscal year. This is really unfortunate, as the grant funds available through OCRP are the only federal ovarian cancer-specific funding opportunities.

This award is a great chance to learn from the mentoring team structure, including my direct mentor, Dr. Manish Patankar, as well as the program leaders Drs. Ken Nephew and @rdrapkin8-penn.bsky.social. I'm looking forward to accelerating networking with the ovarian cancer research community!

My worries are not just for this autism study (though I am worried), but moreso for the slippery slope that leads to eugenics and discrimination broadly. #handsoff

I wish I could also withdraw consent for the government to use my EHR data for this study but, as far as I know, there is no mechanism to do so.

Because I don't know what the government is going to do with it, this part of the agreement scares me "Sharing Your Information:

@samsungmobileus.bsky.social, under Samsung Washington Consumer Health Data Privacy Statement allows you to withdraw consent to share data, but opting out only prevents selling of data essentially for ad purposes.

RFK, NIH: Who are you giving access to? Is use of the data limited to certain uses? Most people consenting to an IRB-approved study would be able to access this.

See this chart for one stark example: NIH funding has dramatically slowed down.
Grant awards are down *$3 billion* so far, compared to same time period last year
I asked the White House to explain.
“This is not a researcher entitlement program,” said an official, defending their new approach.

I see senior citizens having public librarians help them schedule a haircut online because places don't even schedule appointments over the phone now. So many will be hurt by this.
