This is not hyperbole! What a nightmare mess. On the plus side, the new simplified review criteria do not leave a lot of room to comment on the investigators, particularly if their background is "appropriate" to the project proposed. So maybe it will be a good exercise in less is more? 🤯

And these are just the tangible costs… “…having a loved one in prison or jail is estimated to cost families across the country nearly $350 billion each year — about four times the amount the federal government estimates it costs taxpayers annually to operate the nation's prisons and jails.”

Working in care transitions, I’ve often said we need policy solutions to improve continuity of care when a person is dc’ed from one system (eg, hospital) but gets stuck waiting for an appt in another (eg, CMHC). Enabling pharmacists to bridge an Rx during these long waits could be a game changer. 🙌

I was a predoc IRTA @ NIMH in 90s. I was lucky to have the chance to move to a GS position, but it got held up during the Lewinsky scandal & threat of govmt shutdown. But my mentor reassured me at the time, "NIH will always be safe b/c Democrats and Republicans both get sick." Haunting words. 😥
