Rapid Response Bridge Funding Program In the face of recent abrupt shifts in federal funding for education research, including large-scale terminations of National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant awards, we have developed a rap...

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants.

"This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

In case it helps: it's okay to re-calibrate expectations, given the current reality.

I was getting frustrated with myself because, over the past month, I've gotten behind on the things I planned to get done.

Each day, I start with plans, then some element of the chaos throws a wrench in them. 1/

Disaggregating Trends in Alcohol Involvement Among Hispanic, Black, and White Female and Male U.S. Adolescents: 2002 to 2019: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs: Vol 86, No 1 Objective: Alcohol involvement is declining among U.S. adolescents; however, studies examining population-level trends in alcohol involvement among females and males from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds are scarce. Therefore, the current study examined alcohol involvement from 2002 to 2019 among Hispanic, Black, and White U.S. adolescent females and males. Method: Data were from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, years 2002–2019. Participants were between 12 and 17 years old and Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, or non-Hispanic White. Annualized change estimates within each subgroup were analyzed separately for the following four alcohol variables: (a) lifetime alcohol use; (b) age at alcohol initiation; (c) past-year drinking days; and (d) respondent's perceived risk of alcohol misuse. Results: Lifetime alcohol use decreased for all groups, and the decrease was strongest for Hispanic males. Age at alcohol initiation similarly increased for Hispanic and White females and males, with no change in age at alcohol initiation for Black adolescents. Past-year drinking days declined for all groups but was not significant for Black females. Perceiving alcohol misuse as a “great risk” increased only for Hispanic males and females. Conclusions: Although alcohol involvement is declining among U.S. adolescents, results from this study highlight that engaging with alcohol is normative among many adolescent groups. Also, when considering sex as well as race and ethnicity, there are important distinctions in patterns of decline in alcohol involvement that should be accounted for to inform future research and screening.

Text from the post, "To My Fellow Lab Rats: A Letter From a Postdoc Who Survived the Bolsonaro Years"

Loved this post from a postdoc who lived through the Bolsonaro years in Brazil:

"The best 'fuck you' to fascists? Thriving. Publish that paper. Build that collaboration. Laugh with labmates. Science outlives dictators—but only if we stay in the fight."
