Line graph of the number of NIH projects funded by NIH in fiscal year 2026 through February 20, compared to fiscal years 2020-2025. The fiscal year 2026 is following the curve for fiscal year 2025 but offset due to the government shutdown that occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year.

As an Associate Editor, working with Manuscript Central is awful. As an author, working with JMIR's submission is not very user-friendly. Surely there is a better way to facilitate peer review?

A line plot with the numbers of NSF awards for fiscal years 2021-2026. The curve for fiscal year 2026 is quite a bit lower than those for 2021-2025 while the curve for fiscal year 2026 (in red) is much lower than all through the same date.
But, as they say, there is no time like the present
[OK, maybe the 1930s if you want to nitpick]
But, with some data wrangling, my first NSF Funding Curves!

As I said in the Senate last year, "Dismantling #AHRQ will have nationwide consequences. It weakens evidence-based care. It hinders health care from addressing emerging threats and dismantles grant programs that support current research and the training of future researchers." #Healthcare
A line graph showing all NIH projects funded through January 23, 2026 for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal years 2021-2025. The fiscal year 2026 curve lies substantially below the other curves.
