1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

This is NOT okay.

Providing every child access to a high quality education is the most important thing we can do to protect our future. An educated workforce drives the economy, scientific innovation and secures our countries place as a world leader. Eliminating the #doe will hurt all of us. #departmentofeducation

Share this and fill in the info if you have it.

Welcome, @klothphd.bsky.social! 🤗

Interesting that the people making decisions about #NIH #IDC rates don’t even know how to interpret IDC data… The average “IDC rates” between 27% and 28% reported by NIH they refer to in the supplemental guidance notice are actually %’s of total costs, not IDC rates 🙄

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH. GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC. Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.

📢 Awesome opportunity to work with a wonderful researcher and human!!
