Are you funded by #NIH, #NSF or #CDC? Please post any letters or communications you’ve received from these agencies or HHS about restrictions on grant funding, publications etc. I want to catalog all of them for the record. #medsky #episky

They are gagged! HHS told all any public info stopped! Do not know how long! CDC read me the order Tuesday! No questions answered. No returned calls (4) 3 HHS PIO and 1 USDA regional Vet!
Complete gag! They did get worried and posted H5N1 data 1/29 was frozen 1/16.
But purchase orders frozen?
I'm a grant writer for a mental health practice and I got a funding notice from NIH this weekend. Looks like they're TRYING to keep doing their work as planned, but who knows what will happen
I don't know😞 I typically only get funding announcements from the agencies. Sometimes newsletters. I'll look tomorrow and see if I've gotten any of those
I'm so sorry if that showed up looking like I was asking that question of you. It wasn't directed at you. It was directed at the cancel cancel culture comment
Be careful. There are reports of Musk‘s team embedding identifiable unique space characters and typos in each email. Whoever leaks the email can be identified by these barely noticeable identifiers.
If you’re looking for more detailed information about research grants, it might be best to check directly with those organizations or the official sources they provide.
Anyone sharing needs to be careful if they want to stay fully anonymous in their postings - the faction sending these letters and emails are embedding hidden characters, extra spaces, line breaks, etc to be able to find out who is posting their copies of the communications they’re getting
“Please share: We've received word that Elon Musk's staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers… This is essentially an email watermark-adding a space here, making a typo there, and similar subtle changes to track leaks.”
Very important! Elon is well known to employ a wide range of tactics to throw people under the bus.
NEVER post exactly what you got, not an image, not even the exact text. As noted - re-write it, varying the words without losing the meaning.
And ED, which will be next on the Strike List, because the last thing these charlatans will do when they slink out of office will be to burn the evidence of their crimes against the State!
My neighbors are both scientists working for two completely different companies. Both are funded by NIH grants. I'll ask if they'll share letters received. When the NIH rep was called to inquire about said funding, the person on the other end said, "I'm not supposed to communicate anymore with you"
I don't have official documentation but our program was verbally told that HHS ASPR can no longer process emPOWER data requests. It's info on vulnerable pops that can no longer be accessed that allows local public health and emergency management to locate people and assist them with evacuation, etc.
Funds are largely still not actually available for draw down. The messages in the system are… concerning to say the least. And other agencies aren’t releasing funds that were already approved internally before 1/20 until they have new legal clauses approved that align with the new administration.
Nonprofits without big coffers are going to be hurting very quickly. Americans are going to be hurting. But at least Musk has gotten richer since hitching his ride to this admin.
They & other fed agencies are interpreting EO and OPM guidance too broadly out of fear. They should be interpreting more narrowly & make admin clarify if they want more. If you’re comfortable w/ it, I suggest asking agency for more clarification & how it responds to EO & OPM guidance.
I was awarded a $5k USDA food security grant and was going to use that to build up my apiary … may not get to do that anymore because I may not get those funds …
USAID and the State Department were not listed as defendants. Do you know if this applies to their grants too? I'm hoping we receive notice that funding is available (despite stop-work order) per the TRO, but haven't yet and am not sure we will since they're not included.
100% Tariffs are being implemented on Tesla cars in Canada. 🇨🇦 Canadians get a bad rap for being “Too nice”. At least their government protects them! #canada #fuckoffelon #tariffontesla
Thank you! I found that ChatGPT is very helpful at identifying where all info is kept in all the various government agencies & helps with several ways to save info. We must all work together.
Gregg I want to reskeet this but I would also appreciate it if you would provide a way for people who want to protect their identities? (doesn't apply to me, I'm in a different country but I know some people are feeling wary about public resistance of certain kinds)
NSF Engineering Research Visioning Alliance workshop last week “Engineering Design to Equip a Neurodiverse Workforce” cancelled due to Presidential Executive Orders against DEIA activities. (Grant #2048419)
Send stuff about spending freeze even if it’s from last week, memos about suspension of diversity supplements, restrictions on anything to do with LGBTQ communities, etc.
Exactly, they can’t. I’d show you all my highlighted text, notes in the margins with emoji drawings but naw, I need to keep my job and not get banned on here 😉
I would put your Signal username in your bio. DMs are not secure, and someone's account simply messaging you here could be used as evidence in an investigation regarding leaked information.
They don't. What they need to understand is that these freezes or cuts do damage to their community.
I was a social science research professional for almost 30yrs. In 2019 I was part of a reduction in force due to cuts in federal funding between 2017 & 2020.
I work for a company that is contracted out to administer the CDC's BRFSS study (you know, largest continuous health study in the world, interviews 400k USAmericans a year, has run for 40 years) OMB auth happened to expire this year, they had study ready to go but in limbo since 12/31/24
I have been scheduling as usual so the managers can send an email every day to let us know we don't have work yet. This week I can't even add any days to my schedule at all...
So #DiaperDon must be feeling very smug thinking that his Project 2025 is going smoothly as planned. Will the entire country simply fold and bow down meekly to let them grab everything and make the takeover a reality?
I'm an IP lawyer, and have a client that missed payroll and didn't file for a patent because they believe their NIH funding into brain disorders will be cut off by the Musk Trump administration. So they're holding what cash they have. Maybe they get private investment?
This is insane. None of this is legal. Why are our Representatives just allowing Elon to run amok like he owns the place. He doesn't and the Executive branch does not have any of these abilities.
Elon was on the left for years, maybe until 3 yrs ago. Back then he was still fighting Tslaq with the help of young progressive, lots of whom have turned red now. It was Warren who started attacking him do no good reason and the woke took his boy.
I read the guidance that was issued by the ultra conservative church. Something to the tune of ‘prevent women from going to college so they can make more babies for the economy’
You can always run that software, then paste the image to an AI (China's deepseek, crazy as it sounds, may be safer than ones subject to US jurisdiction) and ask it to rewrite it in its own words. Just be aware of export restrictions on data.
We have an open science system where folks can load all materials in a publicly accessible collection of you are interested. Bonus points that it’s partially NSF funded

On Reddit FBI they are warning employees who have a non-disclosure statement in their contracts to be careful leaking documents because the documents have character fingerprints
Please use caution sharing documents as provided; dead characters are being inserted to track leaks. Follow @altnps.bsky.social to protect yourselves!!!
Hi everyone, I’m Luke and I need financial assistance. I recently lost my job as a private tutor and am struggling to find work. If you can help me until I secure a new job or client, I would greatly appreciate it. You can send support to my PayPal: [email protected]. Thank you! 🙏
What I’m hearing from people funded by those is that they’re getting a lot of nonsensical, shittily written unsigned memos that can be designed to do nothing but confuse and distress.
I've heard a lot about the global clusterfuck caused by defunding USAID and soft diplomacy. There's a great deal of irreversible damage, not to mention lost trust, a more tarnished (more real) image of the US, and mountains of wasted resources. A terrible idea executed in the worst possible way
Message sent to a friend from #CDC (do not want to reveal identity for fear of retaliation).
No notes for my own NIH projects yet (thankfully); NIH has asked other colleagues to scrub language from public-facing websites to comply with this same EO, though.
Not perfectly relevant, but I just finished a study funded by an R21. It was published Dec 2024 and is still not indexed in Pubmed so I cannot associate it with that funding 😰. I fear that future funding is in jeopardy if I can’t complete this (albeit small) administrative R21 step.

October last year, US and Greenland just signed an agreement of further development of Greenland, including growth in business relations.
