This explains the drop in NOA for new and competitive grants
Alert: The Trump administration is quietly slashing new NIH grant awards, and it's not via the budget
NIH’s sudden move to multiyear grant funding is forcing shocking cuts in the number of grants funded. This is an effective budget cut. It's bad, folks.

The good news for today, scientifically speaking for vision research is that the NEI appears to have survived the budget reconciliation process in the House. And the NIH budget was not decreased.
This still has to go to the Senate, but the National Eye Institute still lives in the House bill...

Donald Trump is attacking Harvard for refusing to carry out his political agenda. Now, innocent students are caught in the crossfire.
Harvard is right to fight back.
But this isn't just about Harvard — anyone who crosses Trump could be punished. It's a threat to all of us.
