I would definitely go with progressively darker shadings in a single color for this map. I thought from your shadings that SC had a higher loss than NC or Texas. The lighter shade shouldn't reflect higher values.
maybe before you defend these elite institutions, which largely exist to perpetuate the ruling class, you should talk about the grotesque salaries that these institutions pay their top people
According to an email to Emory faculty and staff sent Sat night, this cap represents a roughly $140 million decrease in our NIH F&A funding annually. So nearly twice this estimate.
Altogether, this change to NIH funding--which will be challenged in court and likely lead to another loss--amounts to something like a $5.5 billion cut to scientific research per year.
I also tried to explain what the cut means and why it's bad in this post. It also links to a Google sheet with the raw data I downloaded from NIH and what I did with it. There's links to the map and table too. https://bit.ly/4aOCXBn
This is awesome; thank you. Super naive question: what prevents these institutions from stepping up, stating publicly that this is illegal and deeply deleterious to all? Hold the line! Feels as if they’re all just “monitoring” changes and cowering? Where’s the bold response, based on these figures?
Thanks for doing all the work. Do you need to exclude awards with no direct costs? I think it would be good to show all the projects that the NIH funds. Should Adjusted Funding formula be changed? If old indirect rate is < 15% leave as is, else use the formula you provided.
I read people posts that the cuts will hurt hospitals and medical schools. I did a quick calculation and $3.8 billion will be lost for hospitals and medical schools. Do you think adding a table for that topic will help people see the everyday in impact of the cuts?
Hi, thanks for this. Just fyi for my institution I can only see the cuts to the College of Arts and sciences, not to the med school, which generates a lot of the total NIH grant funding. So the number is off
A better view would be how that loss fits into the overall budget of the institution. Mass Gen is more affected than Yale despite its loss being smaller in absolute magnitude.

Thanks for doing this.
Apparently higher at Stanford. Probably bc some IDC rates higher than others (animal work currently at 80% eg)
