WTF. This is HORRENDOUS news, and horribly misguided. Clinical science is science.

Wow… the explicit exclusion of clinical psych after people have already been working so hard on their applicants is awful. Anyone in/applying to clinical psych programs still planning to apply this year?

Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

This means individuals in the following statuses at the time of application are eligible:

Undergraduate in the final (senior) year of a bachelor’s degree program
Bachelor’s degree-holder with NO enrollment in a graduate degree program (non-degree graduate coursework allowed)
Individual enrolled in a joint bachelor’s-master’s degree program with at least three undergraduate years completed
First-year graduate student in their first graduate degree program with less than one academic year completed in the degree program (according to institution’s academic calendar)
Individuals enrolled in joint bachelor’s-master’s degree programs are considered graduate students. For GRFP, joint bachelor’s-master’s degrees are defined as degrees concurrently pursued and awarded.
Not be a current NSF employee.

Applications that do not meet eligibility requirements will be returned without review as being ineligible for a fellowship.

Seeking eating disorder book recs! 📚 I’m interested in books that take an intersectional or structural view of EDs and treatment systems. For example, I’ll be rereading Famished: Eating Disorders and Failed Care in America by Rebecca Lester which I loved. Anyone read A Hunger So Wide and So Deep?

An important point getting overlooked: When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies. They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

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:

Education and intellectual debate are deeply held Jewish values. Coming after universities in the guise of fighting antisemitism is NOT consistent with Jewish values. It’s a thinly veiled attempt of this fascist admin to stifle the free discourse that counters their disinformation. #JewsforHigherEd

We (almost all American Jews) didn't ask for this and we see the long term damage it will do to both higher education and us.

As a professor & a Jew I’m sick to my heart about the attack on Columbia—which is a) escalation of the war on all of higher ed; b) Jew-washing fascism, with the intention of inciting more antisemitism, which in turn will be used as cover for more fascism.

13 years ago today, I presented my first scientific poster. 2 years later, I experienced a mental health crisis. Today, I am still a scientist. My research is on youth mental health. I #standupforscience because we need to do this research, and we especially need to help our most marginalized youth.
