But WE KNEW. There are data + modules predicting this & alsoIRL experiences that back this up. (Ask insura/nces & actua/ries too).
Like why does it have to be "wait till something happens" to do it... Why not just attempt prevention in the first place?! 🫠🫠

Thanks for your response, Mary! It seems like theoretically, everything is back to normal with NCEs, but no one has changed the guidance on whether PIs should be planning for them or not. I'm glad to hear yours went through! Hope you enjoy the holidays with your little one!

We do a lot of this as well. I have several data sets I've created using the publicly accessible data on NCES' site over the years.
I'm trying a new exercise with students this spring where I'm asking them to try to replicate the analyses in a published research article.

Reading new "Nation's Data at Risk" & I hit this quote: The NCES "experienced the most severe loss when all but three employees were terminated in March 2025."
I shake my head every time I see that cited. NCES produces SO MUCH data. It's why @datarescueproject.org went for DOE data first in Feb.

Something the story doesn’t really touch on —
Per the NCES, 27% of 8th grade students are below the basic reading level. Another 39% are below the proficient reading level.
Kids are coming to HS unable to read.

so dark and also, i imagine, increasing the gap between private and public schools

The education data we rely on is now hanging by a thread: "NCES faces uniquely severe structural problems. The agency has the weakest statistical integrity safeguards among federal statistical agencies, with no statutory protections" bit.ly/48CftOY

No NCE button for R15s nearing their end date—1st NCEs need prior approval through the NIH Prior Approval Module. More steps, delays, and stress since active R15 PIs can’t be PIs on other NIH grants. Nothing I submitted in 2025 has even been reviewed/decisioned. I guess it was nice having a lab.....

which i *guess* you could clarify as "most of them", if you had some kind of axe to grind? But according to the NCES it's about 32% of students <21 who receive accommodations who have a "specific learning disability"...

Making NCEs unpredictable seems like another way to bleed research dry. Between the uncertainty of awards being disbursed at the front and a sharp cliff rather than taper at the end, the best adjustment I can think is to make a time machine and convince myself to not take this career path

I do think from here on in we can not rely on the easy awarding of NCEs anymore, so i'm going to have to adjust to the new normal. We'll deal.
Assuming we ever get funded again, that is

This is convoluted so I wouldn’t be shocked if the NYT got it wrong. But we also heard rumor early in the chaos that NCEs themselves were a target. So I also wouldn’t be shocked if this is the case.

part of the NYT article implies NCEs will no longer be permitted. It also implies 5 year awards are being cut, instead of awarding the final year as a Type 5 to *permit* NCE. @jeremymberg.bsky.social is this correct?

Studies now show that liberal groups in power who spend money to fund necessities win higher vote shares. MMT-style theories have been proven correct by every major central bank's published papers. NCEs can't afford to miss another one. And they blew 2008 in a bad way.

🚨FACT CHECK🚨: Trump's Admin has no idea what the DoE actually does, so they lie about its responsibilities.
What the DoE is not responsible for:
❌ Curriculum and what is taught in classrooms
❌ Academic standards and proficiency benchmarks
