Veterans Affairs Research Under Threat This Viewpoint discusses the critical importance of continued funding for the intramural research program in the Department of Veterans Affairs.

"It is ironic that a purported effort to improve gov't efficiency is targeting the 0.3% of the VA budget dedicated to discovering how to help veterans live longer and healthier lives and how to make the $121 billion spent on VA health care more effective & efficient"

Congratulations!!

Trump officials will screen NIH funding opportunities Staff at biomedical agency worry about political interference in setting priorities

At NIH, new fudging opportunities (NOFO) will need to be approved by DOGE. That should be a NOGO.

We need to organize--let’s help each other.

NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.

I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

Just received notice that our grant was terminated. 5R24AG066599-03

"VA researchers whose contracts are about to expire . . . will not be renewed, even when funding [through extramural grants is] in place to pay them. Should the VA continue this policy . . . over the months to come, the entire VA research workforce could be decimated."

Protect research funding Federal funding for biomedical research is under threat.

For decades, NIH funding has fueled breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and more. But a new policy puts progress at risk. We’re asking Congress to oppose this abrupt change. Email your lawmakers!
