SCOOP: You've heard about the NIH terminating grants. I've learned of another, less visible way it's disrupting science: It’s removing some applications from peer review. Not rejecting them, but putting them on hold without saying why or if they'll ever be reviewed. https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-quiet-way-the-nih-is-stalling-some-research-before-it-starts

Maybe the RNA therapy mentioned in my grant triggered this issue 🤔
If I wanted to stop research I didn't like, this would be an attractive strategy.
