So frustrating - My postdocs K23 panel was cancelled yesterday. A delay like this has significant implications for him. It is unfair to the reviewers who have spent 20 hours (on top of work) prepping for the panel...I am about to spend my weekend doing reviews for a panel that may not happen 🤯.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. https://go.nature.com/4gM6oW4

Did anyone else just get an email from eRA communications updating them about the litigation against Trump from pausing/witholding funds for NIH grants? Other investigators I know didn't get it so wondering if I got it as I have an NIMH LRP which goes directly to me as opposed to my university?
