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? 🤯

Reflecting the efforts of so many - most importantly our study participants who gave their time to help others - I'm thrilled to share the results of our RCT evaluating the effectiveness of the #SafetyPlanningIntervention for #SuicidePrevention in the year after jail release.

The updated version of the database of PhD fellowships produced and maintained by my team can be downloaded by anyone here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-... For each of the 187 fellowships, you will find a short description, deadline, $ amount, link, etc. Good luck!

We tried something new this year as part of our orientation… Feeling grateful to Brown’s Swearer Center and to all the community partners who shared their work with us! 🙏 What a great introduction to Providence for our Brown psychology residents! 😊

I wouldn’t spend time reiterating numbers in your internship statements, but rather use the space to answer the questions to convey who you are as a person, clinician, and researcher - and to articulate your goals for training. We want to get you know who YOU are and where you’re going! Good luck. 🙂

I’m only peripherally involved in this as a PI of another T32 in our department. But I think this is broadly the focus. I’m sure you could reach out to the contact with more questions!

It's a bit off-cycle, but you never know who might be looking and when... Brown has a new T32 postdoctoral fellowship in child health equity! Applications are open now and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. More details can be found in the link below: today.brown.edu/announcement...

Oh, I know. I’ve been PI on many NIH grants, including one that just got a non-competing award. I’m saying that it’s hard for everyone to track trends from the outside, when Reporter is behind.

Lauren Weinstock, PhD @lmweinstock.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

It's hard to even know where to look, because we have gotten a few non-competing NOAs in the last few weeks, and none of them are appearing in the Reporter.

As a T32 PI responsible for supporting 5 fellows, I have not had a solid night's sleep in months. So I understand completely.

010

Lauren Weinstock, PhD @lmweinstock.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

True, but it complicates & slows things - and is relevant across all T32s. They wouldn’t have been funded without meaningfully addressing the prior requirements, so all now have added scrutiny. As PI of an otherwise uncontroversial T32, I still had to revise our most recent RPPR for “compliance.”

100

Lauren Weinstock, PhD @lmweinstock.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

The T32s are all tricky, because the language of the prior NOFOs explicitly required the awards to address “diversifying the workforce,” with explicit plans and metrics. Now that such an effort is contrary to the EOs, literally every T32 needs to be reworked, to ensure it is “in compliance.”

I’ll have to take a deeper dive and report back… I remember this meeting so well. I was in my 2nd year of grad school at CU, and we got to attend for free in exchange for volunteering to work the “check in” desk for the meeting. I was star struck! 🤩

We’re a consortium that includes a VA, and it’s more important that someone provide a meaningful narrative for why they want to train at a VA than it is that they have prior VA experience. This question also comes up in our APCS Q&A video. osf.io/r35z7/

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.”

Yeah, mine have always gone to SEPs or NIMH standing committees like SERV or the long-defunct ITMA. I’ve also had funding from NCCIH, and I think their policy was to triage *all* of their grants through IC SEPs?

Lauren Weinstock, PhD @lmweinstock.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

Prior to all this {gestures broadly}, there had already been changes afoot re: the new "simplified peer review framework" that was supposed to go into effect for all applications submitted after 01/25. So those should presumably be going live this review cycle. But who can really know for certain?

110

Lauren Weinstock, PhD @lmweinstock.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

Yup, shipping them all over to CSR… will be interesting to see how this goes, as it will be a bigger change for some investigators more than others. For example, I’ve been PI of 11 NIH grants over my career to date, and my F31 was my only grant ever (not even my F32!) reviewed thru CSR. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Considering I cannot send an email these days without at least one major typo, I'd chalk it up to the cognitive overload associated with all of this {gestures broadly}. 🫠

Baseline data from our SPIRIT trial are out. Among 800 ppl passing thru jail: ~50% reported a suicide attempt 30 days prior to study enrollment; most (85%) of which were prior to arrest. Given typically short jail stays, data 🔦 the impt need for effective post detention suicide prevention services.
