Is anyone able to help me make sense of the teeny tiny template IAPAC provides for e-posters? (13.33" x 7.5") What size screens are these posters presented on? Should I really be thinking computer-monitor-sized and not traditional-academic-poster sized?

ACLU sues National Institutes of Health for ‘ideological purge’ of research projects The lawsuit says that NIH has canceled more than 670 research grants, which were due more than $1.1 billion in funding.

Baldwin Leads Forum on Trump and Musk’s Cuts to Cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease Cures YouTube video by Senator Tammy Baldwin

Senator Baldwin's forum against cuts to NIH is livestreaming. Very impressed with all the panelists so far.

NIH cuts halt 24-year program to prevent HIV/AIDS in adolescents and young adults NIH terminated grants for a program studying how to diagnose, treat, and prevent HIV and AIDS in adolescents and young adults.

NIH terminated grants for a program studying how to diagnose, treat, and prevent HIV and AIDS in adolescents

NEW: Baldwin, Welch Announce Former NIH Director, Researchers, Clinical Trial Patients as Witnesses for Forum on Trump’s NIH Cuts | U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Peter Welch (D-VT) announced the...

Thank you @baldwin.senate.gov for fighting against cuts to NIH!

Last Friday, 1,000 more NIH biomedical research projects were defunded with no notice

Here’s a word cloud of canceled grants, based on their titles

The speed at which NIH is terminating in-progress HIV-related grants is truly horrifying. This is not a shift in future priorities—they are abruptly cutting off studies originally competitively funded because of their high scientific impact that are already underway. taggs.hhs.gov/Content/Data...

NIH Grants Fueled $95 Billion In FY 2024 Economic Activity, Finds New Report National Institutes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide in FY 2024 according to a new report by United for Medical Research.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.

That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.

Show me a better investment than that.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

You know you’re in Wisconsin when there’s a “NO SCIENCE, NO CHEESE” chant. 😛🧀

Stood up for science in Madison. (Better at science than art.)

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

Wow is this bleak. It would be distressing enough were they revising guidelines on what could be funded going forward, but this effort to cancel or redirect ongoing science (into which resources have already been invested) is surreal. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

NIH terminates ongoing grants for LGBTQ+ research Saying that "research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific," the agency wrote to scientists to cancel current grants.

Thank you @statnews.com

Welp, I guess now we know why they haven’t been issuing any grants…

So many different types of science across so many institutes being held up! What are they up to?

It's definitely super weird that basically no NIH grant renewals are being issued (based on NIH Reporter). 19 total grants (new or renewed) with NOAs in the 1st 7 days of Feb. this year, versus 850 in 2024 and 1196 in 2021 (last change of administration). Zero NOAs 2/3-2/7.

Anyone else anxiously awaiting what *should* be a non-competing renewal on an NIH grant 5 days into February? Let me continue to science please!

FYI, this is the updated instruction I received for an NIH review panel this month: "To align with new Administration guidance, effective immediately, reviewers must not evaluate, score, or factor into their final scoring, the Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) in applications."

When you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Excited to share our team's new article in AIDS & Behavior reporting that self-collection of dried blood spot (DBS) specimens for viral load monitoring is highly feasible and acceptable among rural older people living with HIV in the U.S. South. Sharable link: rdcu.be/d7BEE
