Interesting. Wasn’t aware of these nuances and various implications. A faculty in my dept at UF appealed and her grant was reinstated.

Appeal

Ignore and do what’s right!

And I feel the same way- though not as strongly - about offloading my spatial reasoning to GPS.

That is really really dumb

One of our UF faculty appealed the abrupt termination of a prestigious NIH grant. She learned this week was reinstated. Lesson: Be persistent, be bold!

What an idiot. Clueless

Trump Cuts Target Next Generation of Scientists and Public Health Leaders A core group of so-called disease detectives, who track outbreaks, was apparently spared. But other young researchers are out of jobs.

“At the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s premier biomedical research agency, an estimated 1,200 employees — including promising young investigators slated for larger roles — have been dismissed.”

Yes. Breaking cancer research.

This is illegal indeed!

Indirect Costs at NIH . . . I wasn’t planning on spending part of a Saturday writing about cost accounting principles and the like, but NIH-world was hit with a doozy of a policy announcement on Friday night:

The white house tried and failed to do this 2017, and will fail again. Also, a good exploration of real ways to increase efficiency and reduce waste in NIH grant funding open.substack.com/pub/goodscie...

Thanks for sharing. This is excellent!

Stunning!
