The reductions in the number of new and competing renewal R01s by topic (based on simple searches in NIH Reporter).

The cuts are across the board: Cancer down 24%, Alzheimer down 45%, Obesity down 29%, Child by 21%.

Transgender was down by 84% but represents only a small number of grants.

Would #idsky please explain to me why viral genome sequencing and a bioinformatics platform are necessary to review our measles elimination status? Aren't confirmed cases sufficient? Thank you.

How Congress can restore the independence of US science Members must go beyond reinstating US government research spending and re-establish decentralized governance at the National Institutes of Health and other agencies.

The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellationsβ€” it’s how the agency is governed.

For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

You need to read this thread

Jay Bhattacharya should not have been allowed anywhere near NIH leadership

He has shownβ€”over & overβ€”that he will impede the careers of early career researchers

He told my Duke colleague, a young post-doc who studies health disparities, that his science was β€œbad”

β€˜How is he going to have the time?’ NIH staff voice concern as Bhattacharya takes on CDC role Scientists fear NIH director will be even more absent and leave key issues unresolved as he takes interim CDC lead

Great new piece by @melodyschreiber.com in The Guardian about NIH/CDC Director Bhattacharya .

In it, I talk about asking Bhattacharya in January about a recent issue affecting the affordability of healthcare for thousands of early career researchers on the NIH campuses.

Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.

But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.

It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why:
