It’s world narcolepsy day! If you fall asleep in public, on transit, so much that it’s a bit with your friends, do yourself a favor and ask your doctor about getting an MSLT. That is not normal behavior and don’t wait until you total your car (like me when I was 17) to get diagnosed!

Robert Kraft — who's given millions to pro-Israel orgs like AIPAC — once got a $1M award from Netanyahu for helping stop people from boycotting Israel. "Israel does not have a more loyal friend than Robert Kraft," Netanyahu said. Now, Kraft helps kick Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's tour:
Robert Kraft to Establish a Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism, BDS, Delegitimization of Israel
Jun 20, 2019 at 03:25 PM
June 20, 2019, Jerusalem - Tonight, the Laureate of the 2019 Genesis Prize Robert Kraft was honored at a gala ceremony in Jerusalem. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Genesis Prize Foundation Chairman Stan Polovets bestowed the award on Kraft in front of an audience of 600 Israeli and international dignitaries.
The $1 million Genesis Prize, dubbed "the Jewish Nobel" by Time Magazine, honors extraordinary individuals for outstanding professional achievement, contribution to humanity, and commitment to Jewish values. Previous honorees include U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; philanthropist and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg; actor, producer and peace activist Michael Douglas; and "Fiddler to the world" maestro Itzhak Perlman.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "I am delighted to welcome Robert Kraft to the august family of Genesis Prize Laureates. This prestigious award honors Robert's generous lifelong philanthropy, his commitment to the Jewish people, and his love for Israel. It also recognizes his principled stand against anti-Semitism and efforts by our enemies to undermine the State of Israel through BDS and other similar campaigns. Israel does not have a more loyal friend than Robert Kraft."
Kraft previously announced he would forgo the $1 million monetary award so that the funds could be granted to initiatives combating anti-Semitism, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), and other efforts to delegitimize Israel. This is in line with the tradition established by previous Genesis Prize Laureates, who have "re-gifted" their awards to philanthropic causes they support.

Program Update 3: Clarifying Allowable Uses of K Award Funds for Clinical Trial Research Activities.

To better align K awards with their primary purpose of career development:

NIH will no longer support 'Independent Clinical Trial Required' K award NOFOs. 
K award funds may not be used to support the conduct of a clinical trial, clinical trial feasibility study, or ancillary study to an existing clinical trial. 
K awardees may gain clinical trial experience by participating in a trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
K awardees who wish to lead a clinical trial as PI must secure separate funding (e.g., institutional, philanthropic, or other grant awards) to support those activities.
NIH recognizes the importance of supporting the development of scientists who can lead rigorous clinical trials. We are actively working on additional strategies focused on this need and will provide more information when available.

Any active NOFO that uses the current K Activity Codes, except the K00, K12, K43, and K76 mentioned above, will be expired by July 13, 2027.
