“What this does is discriminate against people who are underrepresented,” The reviewer added that evaluation for the general and diversity pools are the same. “I can’t stress enough that an undeserving grant “is not going to get funded, whether it’s diversity or not” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/s...

Trying to get the word out to colleagues in SC - still need a leader! I'm going to #standupforscience2025 in DC on March 7 because science helps everyone, regardless of their political views.

So R15 AREAs (due Tues) still have the NIH diversity language in the PAR. Soooo… I still have pieces about lowering barriers & supporting my students (also that I have a clutches pearls award for DEI/mentoring) And I’m a proud+loud queer/firstgen scientist. How do we even do this friends 😩

Beautiful thread of scientific discovery that led to a non-addictive pain medication. Built on decades of painstaking NIH funded basic research on sodium channels in peripheral neurons, using animal models. Not developed by private companies but driven by govt investing in scientific curiosity

Guys, Nate Brought has joined @coachdomin8.bsky.social. In case you missed it, he was the NIH Director that resigned with a bang on LinkedIn yesterday. I think he has a lot to say about what was/is going on @jeremymberg.bsky.social @drugmonkey.bsky.social @docbecca.bsky.social @azfaust.bsky.social

More Friday night villainy: many NIH grant opportunities that disappeared two weeks ago and then reappeared last week have now disappeared again 🤬 Search grants.gov with close date in ascending order - 2 pages with closing dates now today (2/21/25), many with archive date tomorrow (2/22/25)

Hey PA folks, Fetterman's office now has a form where you can report on how your grants are being impacted. Let him know about your paused council, paused reviews, paused NOAs, etc! PS, This link is from his 'Fetterletter' but I don't see it on his site. YMMV! forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Ok scientists & those who love science 🧪: here is another exhortation. Call Congress TODAY about the freeze on NIH Council Meetings and Study Sections. Emphasize that this means NO new grants are being funded & labs will soon start to shut down and fire employees. Phone numbers are at: 5calls.org
