The NIH just released a proposal that will apparently hide peer reviewers’ impact scores and percentiles from the research team, their institution, and NIH program officers. All the better to obscure how funding decisions will be made primarily via political review, I’m guessing.

My (now) weekly update on 2026 NIH funding. New and competitive renewal awards. 3 new awards (compared to ~100 expected based on recent years). No new ICs... still just NIA, NINDS, NIDCD, and NIDCR. 1/2
A line grant showing new and competitive renewal awards made by NIH is fiscal year 2026 compared to 2021-2025. The line for fiscal year 2026 is very close to zero.

Gotcha. I just did the math for NIGMS, and they're still short ~200 R01 equivalents compared to last year, with only 7 MYF'd. MYF funding for other mechs could contribute to fewer grants, but it still doesn't seem like the math works out. Maybe more will show up Reporter to reduce the shortfall.
