A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails.
Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits.

You’re probably thinking of the controversy from a retracted paper about detecting tumor bacteria in blood as a diagnostic. The field has shown rather thoroughly that bacteria naturally colonize tumors, cool stuff!

NIH funding had a 156% basic annual return in 2024 (ie not taking into account any previous and/or future investments and/or returns).
