NIH staff are being required to fully fund ~ 50% of their grants. This means that all 4 years of an award will be paid out of this appropriation. This will help them get the appropriated funds spent, but will mean they can only fund (1/2 + 1/4*1/2) = 5/8 has many grants as they would have otherwise.

But I do think the priority right now is getting NIH to release our funds. As much as I’d love for us scientists to be able to replace that money with direct donations, I don’t think it’s a reality. I’m gonna keep trying though.

Very sorry to hear, Tal! Let me know if there’s anything I can do and hopefully the funds held up are released soon! Scientific research is being used as a pawn in a political fight and medical research like yours can only benefit society. Shame people are not seeing this is a needed investment.

This does not include long term gains that include training of new professionals, groundwork for new technology, seeds for new startups and biotechs and long-term diagnosis, treatments and cures. NIH is a necessary part of a thriving economy and for medical advancement! 2/2

Yes, great alternative given uncertainty of Pubmed. I posted elsewhere but forgot to add to this thread.
I have also asked Endnote how to import from PMC Europe (think you can on Zotero).
