Y’all better read the linked Substack about #NIH funding mechanisms.
The problem is bigger than #Flybase funding. It’s bigger than #OMB slow-walking I warned about at the #Drosophila conference #dros26 two weeks ago.
RFK Jr., Podcast Jay, and the Neo-Lysenkoists are killing American science.
Lists should be made now & ongoingly of all eliminated American govt services ( #Education #USAID #VeteransAdministration #CDC #NIH #StateDepartment #EPA #FEMA #NOAA etc) & personnel needed for reconstitution in the future.
Likewise reforms to #Immigration etc must be reimagined.

3. My best to you in the coming years. US federals have not had an easy stretch. I am actively dying (two cancers) and enrolled in hospice care. There is no more time, just a thanks for the time we did have."

Listening to #NIH staff discuss their new strategic plan under a “unified funding strategy.” Difficult time answering some questions related to (1) multi-year funding, (2) non-animal models preference, (3) geographic preference over strict merit decisions #RAdminSky
Happy for Susie #Wiles that previous presidents funded the #NIH and #university programs conducting #cancer research, drastically increasing survival rates for #breastcancer
It would be good for her to remember this the next time university or research funding is threatened

APS joined more than 500 organizations in urging Congress to complete FY27 appropriations with robust funding for the #NIH - support essential to improving public health outcomes nationwide. #Funding

#NIH director on working with Indigenous communities:
We shouldn't be standing above and studying. "You do that with Petri dishes, but not with people."
It's crucial to listen, learn from and collaborate with experts in the community.

Don't let Jay bullshit you. Appropriated funds are not going out.
#NIH has issued just 14 Notification of Funding Opportunities this fiscal year.
#OMB is "playing" w/ NIH's Assistance Listing Numbers. They are delaying funding.

The #NIH budget is <1% of the total federal budget. 99% of FDA approved drugs came from NIH supported work.
This also supports generations of scientists.
And Hegseth burns through the same amount on superfluous items IN ONE MONTH.🧪
Keep holding our #NIH director accountable.
Jay Bhattacharya is about to launch a "Scientific Freedom Lectures" series with a journalist (a non-scientist)who hasn't written a grant proposal before. This is not a joke, this a trademark of our administration.
The #NIH comprises less than 1% of the federal budget. 80% of that is allocated to universities and research institutions. That $$ ($36B) yielded $94 BILLION in new economic activity in 2025.

#DefendResearch #Funding #Medicine #Trump #TrumpVResearch […]
Across all areas, including Alzheimer’s & cancer research, the #NIH went from funding ~5,000 new research grants in 2024 to 3,900 in 2025.
This is despite Congress rejecting NIH budget cuts.
Fewer funded grants = less room for new ideas.
May the odds be ever in your favor.

The stupid paradox, cont.
#NIH director Jay Bhattacharya launches the "Scientific Freedom Lectures" series w/ a non-scientist. Matt Ridley is a science journalist who believes in the Covid lab leak hypothesis. "Scientific freedom" is about conspiracy theories.

Every dollar #NIH receives is an investment in our future. That said, this won't stop what is happening now. The Trump regime is using internal funding mechanics to block and stall funds from going out.

Imagine how much #revenue could have been #generated if there were no #funding #delays at #NIH www.fiercebiotech.com/research/des...
In 2024, #NIH was 2.8% of the federal budget of HHS & less than 1% of total federal spending.
NIH research generated $94.15 BILLION in new economic activity in 2025 (390,863 jobs).
The 250% ROI at a fraction of the total budget speaks for itself.
