Wow, I applaud you. Thank you for writing to him and thank you and your husband for your service to this country!

I agree, but it's not that simple. After living in Louisiana for almost ten years, it was surprising how many people who are black married at these locations. I also knew many black people who despised these locations. I think black people would need to have the last word on it.

Oh, wow. So this is dire too. Really wish a reporter would ask Bhattacharya when they will issue new NOFOs and how many they will allow to expire. The NIH still has a mandate to spend their budget, how will they?

Curious if anyone has data on the number of unique NOFOs over time.

I didn't subscribe to this notice in the past but I've been subscribed for the last 5 weeks. Previously (before Trump), were there always new funding opportunity notices?

For the second time in three weeks, my PMS requests have been frozen without notice, without explanation, and for an unknown period of time. Currently awaiting my draw from Monday.

Yes please! We are still out here submitting applications into what feels like no-man's-land. Funding at a higher payline than usual for the rest of the fiscal year would be great 😊

Is it possible to look at external research contracts? New and non-competitive?

They are cuts to medical cures, treatment, and prevention, as well as to thousands of jobs. I think that's how it needs to start being framed to pull attention away from the Universities that can't otherwise fund these programs.

So if a student's grant hasn't been updated to show that it's terminated in Reporter, a reviewer may think they don't need it?

They're also no longer updating Project End Dates in NIH RePorter the way they were doing previously when terminating grants. Now it's much harder to find the magnitude of terminations and the specific grants and contracts they're ending. So much for transparency.

Yeah, this notice didn't seem to me like it had teeth. Institutions are basically allowed to do anything that's lawful.

Hard to imagine things will be normal in May after all the terminations. Also, bipartisan support is great, but Trump seems to call the shots and he wants a $20B cut to NIH and the Republicans are planning $1.5T cuts to spending. Was that addressed?

Probably a handshake lol
