Here are some data documenting the funding "pause" pulled from NIH Reporter. Current results (FY25) (Red) are compared with results from FY21 (first year of Biden Administration) and FY24. Note that data from Reporter lag behind release of NoAs by ~1 week. I will be tracking this going forward.

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

Glad to see this post getting some traction, because the Federal Register is the WHOLE ballgame, folks. To drive this point home, a recent EO declares that all posts to FR now must be approved by the White House. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is a red alert for US science, for new cures & treatments for diseases that afflict everyone in this country. This isn't "oh, it will blow over." Soon we will have reached the point of no return destroying what it has taken decades to build. WE NEED TO BE BANGING DOWN THE DOORS IN CONGRESS.

"A freeze on meetings of expert panels that peer review grant proposals at the NIH is kicking in this week ... Trump barred NIH from posting new Federal Register notices, which means any study section not advertised before then cannot take place." #medsky 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

I’ve now heard the number: 41/47 study sections will not be meeting. Another end around to being forced to unfreeze the funds

Just received an email from a rep of a big company cancelling support to a conference I was organizing over the NIH budget cuts - with the prospects of sales down the company is cutting investment - this is food from local restaurants that will not be ordered - hotel rooms that will not be booked

There hasn’t been an NIH-related post since 1/21. Despite seeing upcoming study section & council dates in eRA commons, these will not take place if they weren’t announced. They’re starving us out until the next budget unless Universities step WAY up.

NCI Council cancelled. That means all grants in funding range from the 3d review period are not going to be paid out (including mine). They kill the best biomedical research system in the world to save 0.6% of the US budget in "waste". Cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer research, new drugs. Great job.

A judge blocked the funding freeze on USAid but: "The Trump administration confirmed to The Associated Press that it had taken USAID off the lease of the building, which it had occupied for decades." this is illegal and by the time the courts act, if ever, there wont be any agency left!

Last day with TissueFax slidescanner demo from TissueGnostics! Fast and high resolution confocal imaging, 6 slides or more depending on the version. Taylor, core manager of AMC's imaging facility, got very nice images of whole-tumors. Moreover, the software allows for easy to use imaging analysis
