Ah, speaking of using admin obstacles to break NIH: this one is just huge.
Trump/Musk are blocking all FACA meetings going forward. That means study sections and council meetings. This will devastate cancer research.

Internal NIH guidance updated yesterday. Just canceling stuff each day from here on out I guess, pending new guidance. Killing science off both slowly and incredibly rapidly.

We are also hearing that at NIH and in other agencies, political types are seemingly intentionally adding administrative burden to slow-walk compliance with judges' orders. Things will slow and break.
This change does NOT mean that things are back to normal. Please keep an eye out.

3. Given that, it’s probably fine— not really fair, but fine— if indirects are set the same for different universities. Politically it’s better.
4. But that uniform indirect rate should be more like 58%. Not 15. Probably the big brain P2025 see this has an opening.

While not completely unexpected, this is the third rail of biomedical research. Universities will react very strongly for the simple reason that this represents the end of the biomedical research enterprise as we know it in the United States.

Without govt funding you simply don't have the community of scientists scattered across the US that helped the US to take the lead in scientific development in the 20th century!
Members of Congress should be all over how this affects their districts!

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
