Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year

The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Yeah, it’s unfortunately a lose-lose situation these days given the dysfunction/understaffing at NIH. Burn a year at current U or move the lab to the new U and wait ~6-12 months for the grant to transfer.

020

Sofiya Hupalo @sofiyahupalo.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Yep, a lot depends on the institution relinquishing the grant, while the new institution moves quickly to put in the transfer. ICs have incentive to process transfers as 'anniversary transfers' if it's close to end of budget year (less work for them), which is why ICs sometimes delay transfers

141

Sofiya Hupalo @sofiyahupalo.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Depends on IC and staffing levels in Program/GM. Also depends on timing - how close you are to the move & the end of fiscal year. If award is approved for payment & end of FY is nearing, NIH will move to award more quickly. Could also talk to PO & frame the move as hypothetical to get more intel

The next few yrs are likely to be EXTREMELY bad for science funding. Given what we've seen from this admin. Expect the grant system to work differently for years into future, unless stopped: Much lower success rates, $ sent to Trump allies and away from univs and blue areas

💯 Unlike a year ago, we now know the strategies this administration is using to defund/disrupt US biomedical research. Sadly, other current events mean this issue is not getting enough media attention.

Happy to see this conversation happening. As someone who withdrew from their 1st attempt at PhD due to mental health, way back in the mid-90's, it was very difficult to overcome that obstacle when applying to PhD programs again. I was always seen as a risk...even after completing a masters degree.

We observed that SETD1A haploinsufficiency disrupts beta (and to lesser extent gamma) synchrony between the PFC and thalamic nucleus reuniens during working memory performance. Unlike some other SCZ genetic risk models, we did not observe broader hippocampal–prefrontal synchrony deficits.
