A friend of mine who runs a non-profit in Portland, OR had a similar experience with an NEA grant. They just yanked funding for services already provided & ghosted them.

Yeah I've heard some rumblings about grant money not showing up among University of Washington faculty.

A good way to cancel grants without actually cancelling them. Later on they can say "Well we weren't cancelling grants, we were just checking for possible fraud and abuse.". Any idea who the evil lowlife is behind this?

Called the Washington State Attorney General's office to make them aware of your reporting since they're actively suing about it. They probably know but I'll take whatever opportunity I can get to not feel powerless

bsky.app/profile/scot... would a preliminary injunction here force NIH to pay out?

⚖️ Terminated NIH grant litigation update: There's a hearing on a motion for preliminary injunction today at 11:30a EDT in Mass. v RFK et al, a case brought by some states against HHS. This is 1 of 2 diff. cases on this topic. I'll be live-tweeting it later this morning. Check back on this thread.

If they're just ghosting on obligated payments / agreed-to payments with no notice of cancellation, wouldn't this be ripe for a giant all-together-now lawsuit by all affected universities and institutions? I'm legitimately asking, as I'm not a legal expert of any stripe.

All right. What’s the real point of this? I could see Musk or others in Trump’s circle having animus toward medical research in general. This looks to me more like a petty and underhanded way to damage universities themselves, by getting them to devote financial resources to things ….

I'm starting to wonder if NIH actually has authorization from OMB to spend money.

As a Monster, it is getting harder and harder to convince myself that The Reasonable Man will choose violence in time. Seriously folks. There are Monsters on our side as well! Sometimes I annoy myself with how irrational I get. All these problems go away with less than 10k people on pikes, surely?
