“Your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution and we are going to wash it off.”

NIH top career people, take this attitude too. You do not need to implement illegal orders just because they are in an EO.

Stand up, NIH! If you don’t Trump will fire you eventually anyway.

If you're an #HIV #vaccine researcher whose #NIH grant was terminated, stopped, paused, or modified this week, we could use your report at grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Yup.

At the end of this summer, the future of U.S. science and research will be decided.

From weather alerts to cancer breakthroughs, science shapes every part of our lives.
We need everyone in this fight.

For those with terminated NSF and NIH grants, there is a tracking system; here is the link to report your terminated grant(s); the intention is to advocate for the major loss to scientific research.

The freaking best

Three grants from my department at CSU were terminated today. We will definitely have a few staff laid off as a result. I am beyond angry.

Yes, it’s definitely an encouraging sign!

No, it likely means your proposal received early concurrence by council and is now under admin review. It doesn’t tell you anything definitive about funding but it’s usually a good sign—at least in normal times. If you haven’t received one already, you can probably anticipate a JIT request.

@mcuban.bsky.social this is a long shot but my account is small & the losses to science are too great to not ask for favors. Please consider getting the word out about AHRQ & NIH funding cuts. We are losing a generation of scientists & American innovation. Thanks! 🤞🙏

It was awesome to see all of the support in person!

If you go to the tabbs document (don’t have the link on hand but search for it on BlueSky), you can search any of the award numbers in Reporter and see that their grant was ended early.

It’s set to be published in the register, I think.

I think the award/peoject end date for the grant is just updated.

Yes, it looks like ERA Commons updated previously canceled council meeting dates to the next cycle’s scheduled meeting across ICs. It’s unclear whether this update actually means anything.

There are only two ACs scheduled or to be scheduled in the FR right now, the rest are study sections.

The NEI advisory council was just posted for scheduling in the register, so it looks like it is happening. Not sure if that had any bearing on whether your proposal went up for early concurrence.

And one for the National Eye Institute

New NIH advisory council just dropped! Looks like the spigot is finally creaking open…

@jeremymberg.bsky.social

I was told by my PO that there is a reason it changed (though they didn’t confirm the status of my proposal or explain why), so it sounds like POs may be getting inconsistent info?

Jeremy, I know apps with study section concerns aren’t eligible for early concurrence, but do you know if > cap apps can still receive early concurrence?

Oh my goodness don’t be sorry. We are all looking for a bit of hope. Good news is an AC will be posted tomorrow, so hopefully this is indication of more to come.

Possibly early electronic concurrence for some well-scoring grants? No way to know as far as I am aware, POs are understandably tight-lipped.

This is half true for me, status is “council review completed”, but the date of council changed from 2/4 to 5/13. Several others I’ve spoken to have noticed the same thing.

These are all study section meetings, not council meetings, unless I’m missing something.

Check your proposal’s ERA commons status.

That is a special emphasis panel, isn’t that a study section?

I’m not seeing that on the list you linked, just study sections. Would it be possible to link to the actual notice?
