This week, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of two federal court orders. On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

This is wild… From my own experience, so many labs within NIMH depend on IRTA fellows to function. The entire program gives young researchers and clinicians hands-on experience and career opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere. This will absolutely slow down research and limit future talent…

🚨RED ALERT for 🧪: The Trump NIH just gashed indirect costs. This is a direct attack on universities. “Pursuant to this Supplemental Guidance, there will be a standard rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs.” 😮 Just a devastating Friday night news dump. #scicomm #academicaky

As the executive branch initiates rapid orders/changes, and agencies scramble to keep up, implement, or pause implementation of each order, clear, fast communication is needed within the psychological community. This new site will have all of the latest updates you need: updates.apaservices.org

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

If anyone's looking for an easy way to reach out to their Congress folk, RESISTbot is still working. Text RESIST to 50409 or go to resist.bot and you can quickly compose an email, fax, or letter to your reps. I sent a hotly worded screed about the admin's attacks on science & got an actual reply

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...
