Sharing our team's recent work that is featured in the latest issue of the journal PAIN. Really excited for the future of this work and reducing the pain burden of individuals who experience traumatic stress: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39287098/
Further evidence that peritraumatic 17β-estradiol levels influence chronic posttraumatic pain outcomes in women, data from both humans and animals - PubMed
Chronic posttraumatic pain (CPTP) is common after traumatic stress exposure (TSE) and disproportionately burdens women. We previously showed across 3 independent longitudinal cohort studies that, in w...

I hope more people understand this. If the study section wasn't added to the federal registrar (before inauguration basically), then the study section can't happen. It won't matter if they cut budgets to NIH if the feds just block the normal processes needed to review them in the first place.
I still don't think it's sunk in to many that after February 20th, there ain't no study sections.

If you want to check if your study section posted in time, go to www.federalregister.gov and search for your SRO’s last name or an identifying keyword from the panel’s name, then sort by “newest.” Would absolutely love to hear from folks whose panels are *not* there but proceed this week anyway.

Study sections were held as scheduled last week bc we are (SOMEHOW) less than 30 days into this hellscape and they made it into the FedReg before 1/21. This week will be the test. I have a grant to be reviewed on 2/20 but it’s not posted and I expect the panel to be canceled last minute.
If anyone has been in touch with press covering the NIH situation broadly (firings, funding freeze etc), please encourage them to cover the sinister way in which HHS is preventing grant review and funding from happening, by blocking posting to the Federal Register.
HHS blocked posting indefinitely. Not enough press is being given to this back door approach to blocking NIH grants. If and when it is lifted will still be 35 days before study sections can be held

The RFA for my application to the HEAL initiative K99 has been scrubbed from the internet. My application in ERA commons had the study section group and meeting date removed. I would love some communication on what this means for my application.
