Heads up! APA is urging anyone who cares about health and science to let their reps/senators know now that they should oppose the admin's murder budget. Easy to do here: www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA... APA is plugged in. If they say NOW, listen! #StandUpForScience

JAMA Forum on the proposed NIH budget… jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

submitted 2 days ago • 2 comments

To put these top-line budget numbers in context, cuts of this magnitude would effectively mean no new grants in FY2026. The entire extramural budget would go to existing, continuing grants. An abject failure of American ambition. And a betrayal of our global leadership in health science innovation.

The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care? 1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.

Viewpoint in JAMA details the consequences of the proposed cuts to NIH: ❌15% reduction in new therapies ❌reduction in life expectancy by 83M life years in the US = $8.2T ❌loss of $51B in economic output annually All to save $20B annually. The math ain't mathin.' jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

How do you decide which theory, model, or framework (TMF) should guide your next implementation project? Our team has just published SELECT-IT in @implementsci.bsky.social — a four-step meta-framework that turns that question into a replicable process: doi.org/10.1186/s130... @jgrimshaw.bsky.social

The US does not have a universal single-payer healthcare system. Statements by health authorities greatly influence vaccine access because dropping vaccine recommendations give insurance companies an excuse not to cover them. Vaccines are not accessible if you can’t afford them.

There is a new Executive Order that is closely related to many of the topics promoted in the science reform movement. It deserves a close read as it will surely have implications for how some promoted reforms are implemented in policy and practice. My hot take 🧵 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Grant freezes versus terminations feel different, but they have the same practical effect. We should start treating freezes as terminations, both of which can be undone by HHS / NIH whenever they want—or by court order if they refuse. They’re all illegal.

Data request: any APHA or UAW members impacted by NIH grant terminations are encouraged to visit the link below by MONDAY 5/19. The goal is to provide the court with info about which grants have been affected and the number of people impacted if the judge issues relief in the matter of APHA v NIH.

Foreign adversaries are pumping disinformation into our social media networks, but we know very little about the consequences let alone how to ameliorate them. For years, Republicans have harassed us for studying this. Now, NSF has canceled all funding. It’s a profound lapse in national security.

All NIH and NSF grants for my entire team--and for all of Harvard, I guess?--have been terminated. As provocative as that sounds, the practical effect is probably not much. Everything was already frozen. 🤷‍♂️ On the upside, it makes tracking terminated grants easier. No more guesswork at Harvard!

one thing I really like about @cogscisociety.bsky.social is they disclose publicly the rough costs of running their conference this is not a trivial decision, many orgs don't do so, and it provides useful context for "why should it cost $600 to see my science friends" (here's why!)

1/6. One thing I’ve often found interesting in research on perceptions of health disparities is the frequency with which the perspectives of the communities that bear the brunt of those disparities are omitted. In our latest @commhsp.bsky.social paper, we highlight what gets lost when that happens.

Current NIH funding slump represents: - Research labs closing - PhD students abandoning their dreams. - Trial participants left to their own devices mid study. - A halt to scientific progress and innovation for cancer, chronic and infectious diseases. - Minority health research terminated. Etc.
