🧪 #publichealth Newly funded NIH grants = new job offers. Renewed grants = jobs retained. Musk has paralyzed NIH funding. NIA council recommends funding for grants, meets 3x/year. The January meeting was cancelled and has not been rescheduled. Red state people please call, email your reps/senators.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

“For the last 75 yrs, the NIH has been the biggest funder of biomedical research in the world. Most advances in medicine were seeded by NIH funding. When we became scientists, we just bought into this system. This is how it works. — @tuthill.bsky.social 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#science From Wired RE #NSF: "Many of the people terminated on Tuesday work as program managers and experts who make decisions about funding by aligning research proposals with the right program and matching those proposals to the most qualified reviewers to assess them and make recommendations."

A lot of our academic colleagues go to work at NSF for a couple of years as a rotator. In the programs that have funded me, rotators have been essential to keeping those divisions going. It's hard to see how these firings won't severely diminish NSF.

Breaking: In a ‘first round’ of cuts, every ‘probationary’ employee at NSF was just terminated. They received no severance. Insurance cuts off at 1 pm edt. Program Officers were given two hours to turn over their programs and clear the building. 1/2 #OpenAsResistance #StandUp4Science

NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds. This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

NIH is NOT INVOLVED in setting indirect cost rates. These negotiations are done either by a completely separate office within the Department of Health and Human Services, or by an office in the Office of Naval Research, depending on the institution.
