For our #geronsky colleagues at #AAIC2025, please give your NIA colleagues a hug. We are really punching it out this week with OMB. It is complete whiplash for us.

World’s Premier Cancer Institute Faces Crippling Cuts and Chaos - KFF Health News After spearheading a 34% cut in cancer mortality, the National Cancer Institute at the NIH is bleeding resources and staff and could see its budget cut by nearly 40%.

We support our colleagues at @alt-thenci.bsky.social. If this FY 2026 budget passes, essential activities will end at #NCI. #Cancer does not stop killing people just because the funding stops.

#geronsky, we are sorry that so many of us cannot be with you in Toronto for #AAIC2025. Will you kindly tag us and put in the hashtag for #ADRD research and #geronsky?

We applaud the #BethesdaDeclaration signers who met with Dr. Bhattacharya. We look forward to putting our mission first.

We have news. The good news is a lot of notices of award we sent out under the continuing resolution with cuts will now get 98%. The bad news is we have to renegotiate with PIs again. We'll do our best to get these out, but we ask PIs to work with us on public facing titles, abstracts, and aims.

What the fuck is this absolutely crap? Do you know how long it takes to vet council members? Do you know how long it takes to determine members don't have conflicts of interest?

How do we quantify a person’s biological age and health status? How do we validate that measure? Can it predict disability and mortality? What type of app can guide lifestyle changes for aging adults? Well done, Dr. Shabnam Shalimi for her leadership.

We're finding out more grants are getting reinstated at the #NIH. Stay patient. Don't give up this fight! #defendresearch

We continue to navigate the confusing guidance on renegotiation and reinstatement of awards. We believe OGC will will restore them by COB TODAY. As for renegotiation, OGC interprets ceasing the negotiations for the 16 plaintiff states' public institutions for non-competing awards only. Stay tuned...
