We have to change our understanding of what citation looks like, what rigor means

Stealing your metaphor from now on: "just because the ingredients for tacos are present doesn't mean that tacos will happen."🌮🌪️

The Campus Legal team is weighing in on ours because an appeal creates a liability for the University.

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry to hear about this- the hands-experience students gain through this program is absolutely vital for interdisciplinary training. Solidarity, Patty❤️

Meant to say that we sent a message through eGMS asking for confirmation.

Haven't had the heart to check eGMS after that message. I am so sorry to hear that your grant may be affected too.

We sent a message through eGMS. The response from the NEH confirmed that our grant had been terminated by DOGE. The NEH did not
include a copy of the letter or mention the exact email address for DOGE, but did encourage sending questions to the NEH chair's .gov address.

Update to add that we got confirmation from the NEH through eGMS that our grant has been terminated. Going to file an appeal and are reaching out to the NHA and ACH to join the network of folks impacted by this.

I am so sorry to hear that your grant is affected too. Was hoping that the AI grants would be spared. We confirmed our HCRR was cancelled through eGMS and are planning to contest.

Yes- we started last October and planned to complete the project in August 2026.
