I’m not going to be able to tell you about the consequences of EVERY lost grant, but I’m going to try.

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
