Definitely an area where clinical informatics physicians can play a huge role to facilitate communication with patients of all education and literacy levels. #informaticssky

When did you ever see an issue of the NIH Guide have zero new funding opportunities? Is there no biomedical science that needs further research?

As an early career physician thinking about transitioning to mostly research, this is our battle. It’s already a struggle to get institutions to recognize the value of informatics, even moreso as a POC female(!)
Would appreciate any advice from seasoned clinical informaticians…
"These kinds of shocks are going to lead to a mass exodus … for minorities in particular.”

For my latest @science.org story, I spoke with early career researchers who have been affected by the federal upheaval and are concerned about what it means for their future.

I am spending a lot of time right now strategizing on how to support and nurture our next generation of health scientists.

We need you. ❤️
A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants.

The $417M in NIH funding that comes to Oregon supports over 5000 jobs and nearly $1B in economic activity. It also leads to new discoveries in cancer, heart disease, COVID-19, etc., not to mention advances in informatics and data science.
