Curious if anyone has any creative approaches they have used to display demographic data that was collected using “select all that apply” questions? I have data (N=150) from a diverse set of SGM participants who responded to “select all that apply” on race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

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.

NSF GRFP is out 2.5 months late w/key changes 1. 2nd year graduate students not eligible. 2. "alignment with Administration priorities" 3. Unlike prior years, they DO NOT specify the expected number of awards... that is a BIG problem. a brief 🧵 w/receipts www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

THE NSB (NSF Board) announced the existence and exploration of a pilot program to privatize the GRFP graduate fellowship (my wording). This includes branding opportunities for the companies sponsoring fellowships. This is short sighted and self-destructive, and threatens the mission of the NSF. 1/

Funding opportunity from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation!! Did you study racial or indigenous health inequalities and just lose federal research funds? This might be for you! Brief proposal due May 28. They're holding office hours. See link: www.evidenceforaction.org/funding/rapi...
Rapid Response Research awards are specifically intended to support early- to mid-career health equity researchers whose racial or Indigenous health equity research was interrupted by federal funding shifts. Project Directors (PD) for this award need not have been the Principal Investigator or PD of the originally funded project. Funds may cover a wide range of costs that were associated with the original research project. 

We expect to award approximately $2M in rapid response grants, with awards ranging from $50k to $200k for up to 24 months.

For this single stage application process, Brief Proposals are due May 28, 2025 at 3pm EDT.

🧪 ICYMI: $25,000 bridge funding for terminated NSF grants. Major props for to the Spencer, Sloan, W. T. Grant, and Kapor Foundations for their swift action, even though we (and they) know this is a band-aid fix. Due May 30. Applications are brief: a 2-3 page memo of 6-month plans & other docs.

I was wondering if anyone who got a clinical psych PhD in the US and/or got licensed in the US has experience applying for predoctoral internships in Canada. I would love to hear more about what this process looked like from folks who have experience navigating it.

Why precisely 1000? Were they really only 1000 meritorious applicants? Or did someone in DOGE-land decide that there had to be an arbitrary cap with a nice round number. Again and again, the Trump administration shows that it is serious... about dismantling America's innovation economy.

🚨 Not a drill: NSF GRFP results are NOW OUT!!!!! But...good news and bad news. 👍 I'm *thrilled* for the grad students for whom getting this award will be life-changing, esp now. 👎 # of fellowships went down by 51% (1000 this year vs. 2036 last year) See here: www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee...

NIH immediately cancelling existing grants on LGBTQ research. “All the effort we put into building the cohort, all the federal resources that go into building that, are now wasted, essentially.” With @jaceflatt.bsky.social By @angusrohan.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/03/03/n...

NIH terminates ongoing grants for LGBTQ+ research
Saying that "research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific," the agency wrote to scientists to cancel current grants.

If you are on a study section that will not be reviewing diversity fellowships but will be reviewing "regular" fellowships, your next move is clear. Do not participate in the review unless all submissions can be reviewed together. Reclassify diversity grants as "regular" grants & review them all

This is not business as usual. It’s not just a change in funding priorities going forward; it is the reneging on funding agreements and is profoundly disruptive for even those grants that will be found to be compliant. Meanwhile, trainees who often live paycheck to paycheck are going unpaid.

Reiterating my call to fellow federally-funded scientists: Call your reps, tell them how this hurts science and everything good that comes from science (Also non-scientists, and scientists without federal funding! But the more of us who can directly speak to the impacts of these freezes the better)
