Jasmeet Hayes, Ph.D. Scarlet & Gray Associate Professor... I was just informed that my NIH research study section meeting that was to be held TOMORROW IS CANCELLED. This panel reviews grants on brain injury, neurovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy—issues that affect all Americans, regardless of their background. The exact language of a very tersely worded email was that it "will be rescheduled to a later date, yet to be determined." Exactly when will there be another time 30+ scientists will be able to [set] aside two whole days to discuss close to 100 grants? This panel is planned a year in advance. The grants I spent so many hours reviewing, and the work that the principal investigators have dedicated their professional lives to, will not be reviewed. This is going to delay life-saving, innovative treatments. This is more widespread than just my panel; other NIH panels have similarly been cancelled. I am worried about the future of our country as the world's science superpower.
