This is devastating for science and individual scientists. The k99/R00 has been such an important mechanism for diversifying our pipeline.

Application deadline is Monday, April 27 at 5pm! Apply now!

In August, Jay Bhattacharya said “Training future biomedical scientists” was the 1st priority for his version of NIH. But talk is cheap. Let’s see how JB’s doing. 🤔 NIH supports trainees mostly via fellowship (F), training (T), and career development (K) awards. Here are funding curves for each.🧵

📣Attention NIH LRP applicants - the deadline has been moved to December 4: x.com/NIHFunding/s...

Just got an email from my SRO for the study section that was missed in October. Good news is that they are trying to reschedule ASAP (Dec/Jan). The bad news is that CSR is mandating that only the the top third (not half) of applications will get discussed for the next 2 rounds.

My lab hosted a Halloween crafting party for our research institute @impactinstitute.bsky.social yesterday. So much fun. Grateful to my team for making this happen and for everyone who showed up!!

@impactinstitute.bsky.social is taking up to 4 postdoctoral fellows next year! Please see the flyer in the link below. If my own funding holds, I will be hiring one of the four postdocs, so if you have interests in women's health and need a postdoc, apply! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Writing grants is so exhausting.

I am looking for a postdoc to join my ERC StG project DIVREP to work on global, quantitative analyses of fertility and reproductive behaviour. The post is based in the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford. Let me know if you have any questions. More details below👇

Just got an email that the NIH Early Independence award is "not going forward." This was an award that catapulted promising PhD students into faculty positions and is part of the High-Risk High-Reward grant program in the NIH Office of the Director. Deadline was 9.6.25!

I feel sick.

On Thursday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to grant them a stay on the Massachusetts vs Kennedy/ APHA vs NIH ruling. This decision will occur on the shadow docket, with no formal hearing.

😻💕🤗

I bought the cabinet that came in this box on December 30, 2024. So much has happened since then. Should I contact them and see if they can fix ALL THE THINGS???

Happy pride month, all.

Today has been a long week.

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

Our analysis shows that, looking at just the projects terminated so far, a whopping 29% are related to HIV/AIDS and 24% to trans health. 17% are related to COVID-19.

NIH-funded LGBT+ health work has been obliterated. This denies “a small but real percentage of the population answers to critically important questions about their health”, says Shirley Tilghman. “You cannot eliminate a segment of the population by executive order, but you can harm them greatly.”
