Yeaaa.

NIH Again Tosses Grant Applications for Program That Funds Minority Researchers The agency, for the second time this year, has withdrawn applications for the F31 diversity fellowship, which is designed to “promote diversity in health-related research.”

The NIH has once again withdrawn applications to a high-profile predoctoral grant program that were submitted with a diversity notation, effectively blocking many early-career academics from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-...

Thank you so much for your work on this

🤦🏽‍♀️

Yes! This.

I hate that I have to even type this post but the information must be shared: F31 diversity #nih grants are being removed again from study section (after being put back in for a period of time). Just to let yall know. My student was notified yesterday. @insidehighered.com @jeremymberg.bsky.social

Their silencing must be our speaking. Words to encourage in our homes, institutions, and neighborhoods.

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.

Legendary former NIH director retires from embattled agency Dr. Francis Collins is leaving the National Institutes of Health, where he served as director from 2009 to 2021. The agency is facing cutbacks and restrictions under the Trump administration.

Nooooooo. I was just thinking last week.. well at least Francis Collins is still there ☹️

YouTube video by BETNetworks Kamala Harris Delivers Uplifting Message While Accepting Chairman’s Award | NAACP Image Awards '25

I needed to hear this voice and these words at this moment. "This chapter will not be written simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office or wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, by we the people." Thank you, VP Kamala Harris. #NAACPImageAwards

Yay.

“One lawyer asked Judge Kelley to consider a scenario of a researcher doing experiments directly funded through an N.I.H. grant, and a worker disposing of hazardous medical waste produced by all the experiments being run at that facility.“

Cutting indirects would definitely make science less safe…

Judge Extends Block on N.I.H. Medical Research Cuts A federal judge in Massachusetts indicated she would move quickly to consider a more lasting injunction after hearing a laundry list of potential adverse effects of the Trump administration move to cu...

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.

Good words here. When Rs break with Trump on an issue like this let’s encourage it.

Trump Administration Stalls Scientific Research Despite Court Ruling (Gift Article) Using an arcane law, officials have effectively delayed funding from the National Institutes of Health, leaving medical studies in jeopardy.

🎉 This is the best news in a month!! Hold the line, America.

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/

The press has a big role to play in shining light of what is going on...
