"banned words in grants" is just sending me...it still feels like something you'd read in a dystopian novel, not something that could actually be *happening*

and yet.

Ikr? As a colleague in Cali said, "how do we keep doing our job when the place is 🔥 down."

Being on the post award side is going through every report email & submission with a fine tooth comb so things aren’t rescinded, canceled, paused etc. I’ve made my team redo strategic planning & more

Stick to the Wellcome Trust. I’m confident they will go out of their way to bridge at least part of the gap in the space of neglected disease

Their global funding is $1.8B. NIH Extramural grants only is $26B. Anything helps ofc, but "part of the gap" is maybe not well-defined enough to "stick" to.

I feel this. I was just informed the NOFO I am applying to now was just pulled.

And becoming harder to do sexual health research with #censorship.

It's impossible to plan anything. I mean playing ostrich is appealing but how does this end?

Columbia's response is fire all the research coordinators, because no grant will ever be approved again. Doesn't do smaller schools any favors.
