Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

Federal Funding Chaos: What It Means for Psychology Federal funding for psychological research is in chaos. Here's one lab's story of the impacts of this funding confusion and what it means for the future of treatment development.

Science communication is more important now than ever before! My PI wrote a blog post about how our lab has been impacted by federal changes. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/from...

VA Research Funding Slashed Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

"Health disparities research" is a field of study where researchers look at how things like race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status can influence health outcomes. Now any gov't website about this says "page not found".

This is a dystopia that I did not imagine that we'd be living through.

(1/6) The people making these decisions have no idea the harm caused by their politically motivated and reckless decisions. I am in my final year of training for a PhD in psychology and have been working for months on a diversity supplement. I’m where I am now ONLY because of governmental support
