Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

Science and research in the USA have given us so much. It's time we stand up and show our support for research funding - for NIH, for public universities, for research hospitals, for everyone.

If you had a study section or similar NIH travel canceled, or indeed if you have not, can you reply with the dates of the meeting and whether it's on or not? Would be good to get a sense of what time period this applies to for now (esp if NIH is muzzled and can't announce it...)
