The NIH has once again withdrawn applications to a high-profile predoctoral grant program that were submitted with a diversity notation, effectively blocking many early-career academics from underrepresented backgrounds from being funded. www.chronicle.com/article/nih-...

The agency, for the second time this year, has withdrawn applications for the F31 diversity fellowship, which is designed to “promote diversity in health-related research.”

Today, tons of Marylanders rallied at the Lincoln Memorial with Dr. Francis Collins, Bill Nye the Science Guy and thousands of others to tell MAGA to let our expert civil servant scientists get back to work, pursuing facts and conducting critical research for the common good.

Whatever comes next in the NIH case, the hearing today made it clear how huge the medical/academic constituencies are opposing these cuts. And it would seem hard to dispute that some amount of irreparable harm has already happened to some number of parties involved.

This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪. (We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.) Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings. Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/

I’m just sitting in shock processing this. Mike Lauer stood up for us and got fired. This is very sad to read and also I admire him so much for the heroic act of sending that memo. 😞

Thank you @chronicle.com for your reporting and bring attention to this very important issue!! These young talented scientists from disadvantaged backgrounds were wronged and this issue has now been corrected. Indeed, my student’s application is also now back in the planned study section.

This impacted our lab (we have a student with one that got pulled from study section). The student worked so hard on it. They did everything they were supposed to do, and don’t deserve this. We want the work to be reviewed. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/t...
