If this bill is passed - and it very well might - that'll be the end of virological (and much other) research in the U.S., because institutions simply would not want to carry the risk - have one grant that might be flagged as GoF? There goes all federal funding to that research institution.

Includes monkeypox research too, among a host of others....

For the uninitiated, Grants Management makes no decisions on what grants get funded. They process awards, dot i’s, cross t’s. Some of the best ppl to interact with because they deal almost exclusively with the happy side- Grant awards! Always helpful.

Read this too please, from @qjurecic.bsky.social. Bhattacharya is right at the center of this disinformation campaign. He's a driver of it. He will turn #NIH into a Potemkin institution, do to it what Bezos did to #WaPo. Fight his nomination. Get started now.

I remember visiting NCI when T-cell therapies were 1st being deployed. What I remember most was the incredible passion for the patients & the stories of clinical trial participants who had been brought back from the brink of death to enjoy a future they thought they’d never know.

One thing related we'd like to add: If you think NIH is bad now, if Jay Bhattacharya is confirmed it will be ten times worse. If we go through four years of Bhattacharya running NIH, it will emerge a smoking shell. You will have no grants. More from us tomorrow. Check the linked articles.

At least @bostonglobe.com covered it! @latimes.com where is your reporting on the continued stalling of NIH funding despite a court order?
