Excited 2 bring the Massachusetts model of care to AL. MD shortages plague our state, & our HIV/OBAT clinic is often overbooked. But with the nurse care manager model, champion by Colleen Labelle (center), we can extend high-quality addiction care across the state. TY Colleen & Grayken team

As someone in a red state, very much hoping something else is at play. Thank you so much for keeping us all informed and updated.

As someone living in a red state, I am not surprised but also need are blue/purple states to take the lead and am glad they have done so

@altnih4science.bsky.social I am hearing that ASSIST will not accept budgets with an IDC rate above 15%. Is that true?

I keep rereading this section & can’t figure out what on earth they are talking about. What is your read?
“Only three universities in the sample refused to accept indirect cost rates lower than their federal indirect rate...”

Agree, it’s blatantly apparent too by the ridiculous way it’s written.

Solidarity!

What an incredibly important publication. Thank you for sharing!

My grant was supposed to reviewed today. 😔

FWIW as an NIH funded researcher, I’m going to work on my grant proposals that are meant to help vulnerable ppl, write my papers, meet with colleagues, (ie, do my job). I’m not going to stop…and neither should you

Someone had the gall to mail me an advert for local raw milk. They don’t know who they are messing with!
