Russell Vought, Director of the OMB, has issued a set of proposed changes that would dramatically alter federal grant funding. However, we can each take action to prevent these from taking effect. Here's how, a 🧵 🧪 1/n www.science.org/content/arti...

This happened to a friend. Although their Fulbright application had done well at internal review in the US in December, they were surprised to hear in May that it was turned down. In this case, the host country, which knew the application should’ve been awarded, will fund the project anyways.

I was just informed that my NIH research study section meeting that was to be held TOMORROW IS CANCELLED. This panel reviews grants on brain injury, neurovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy—issues that affect all Americans, regardless of their background. The exact language of a very tersely worded email was that it "will be rescheduled to a later date, yet to be determined." Exactly when will there be another time 30+ scientists will be able to [set] aside two whole days to discuss close to 100 grants? This panel is planned a year in advance. The grants I spent so many hours reviewing, and the work that the principal investigators have dedicated their professional lives to, will not be reviewed. This is going to delay life-saving, innovative treatments. This is more widespread than just my panel; other NIH panels have similarly been cancelled. I am worried about the future of our country as the world's science superpower.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

It is natural to want to sink into nihilism. To say “well there’s nothing we can do” and put full trust in the courts, or just shrink into a small bubble and ignore the news and the outside world. Sometimes, that’s necessary. If you need to do it now, do it. But optimism is a choice you can make.

#NIH just slashed indirect costs caps on grants to 15%--this is a HUGE blow to the research community. While there is certainly inefficiency to the grants system, indirects help institutions support scientists & academic infrastructure. No one will want to do research anymore. #medsky #academicsky
