A possibility which I am now working on understanding is that funds from terminated grants were not used to other NIH grants as Director Bhattacharya has said they were

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

I will be sure to post my GRE Math score as part of the 3 year post-tenure review.

An announcement that the Senate voted to reauthroize the SBIR/STTR program.

The Senate has (finally) voted to reauthorize the small business SBIR/STTR program.

And totally expected

The point is to destroy the administrative state, centers of knowledge and all civic institutions that stand in the way of Russell Vought’s vision of an authoritarian theocracy. It sounds insane and something out of Atwood. But this is where we are. Under his eye.

What’s federalism?

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

New: Despite Congress' rejection of the Trump administration's cuts, OMB has been throttling funding to agencies like NIH and NASA. These restrictions, on top of the 6-week government shutdown, have stopped projects and slowed new grants.
