This is not an exaggeration. This is 911 for research in the US

I retired from the American University system at age 49 (after 26 years) so have no direct stake in this. But am here to say that drastically cutting NIH & NSF funding and reducing grant “overhead” to 15% are among the dumbest ideas I have ever seen. America will never be the

Wanted to check-in with these new NIH changes that are going to affect so many. First let me remind everyone: I run 6 hybrid clinical/research centers, each with a specific clinical focus. Unlike the vast majority of my colleagues, federal funding sources account for less 1/

know that this is not “trimming the fat” this is a move that will cost the U.S. a generation of scientific talent. Please also know that anyone online you see crowing about this being positive change is either completely uninformed about the ramifications it will bring or a 5/

And about 15% being "market" rate because that's what private foundations often pay: institutions accept that as the higher NIH rates already pay the bills. Foundations fund a tiny fraction of work and get to piggy-back. BTW the # and the justification come from Project 2025:

K-in-CT 😷😷😷 Erin C. Sanders, MSN, WHNP-BC (She/Her) Krutika Kuppalli, MD FIDSA States must do something, at minimal duplicate data sharing streams. Do not send all vital data only to CDC. It’s foolish at this point. Hospitals and public health labs should do the same. Don’t put all data into single, centralized org that’s about to be annihilated. #THINK

As far as I can tell there has only been one uploaded sequence of H1N1 in the last 3 epi-weeks from the US. Don't ask what's in your flu appears to be the prevailing attitude from those in charge.

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By Angie Voyles Askham thetransmitter.org/funding/federa…

nature The freeze on grant reviews could hinder vital biomedical research, postponing advancements in new therapies and cures. This delay might extend suffering or lead to fatalities for patients depending on progress for conditions like cancer or Alzheimer’s.

Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities. Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do? wesa.fm/health-science…

.HHS.gov has canceled the March meeting of outside experts who were to advise U.S. FDA on what next winter's #flu shots should target. The irony of this: Canceling #VRBPAC makes the US more reliant on the World Health Organization (WHO) -led strain selection process. statnews.com/2025/02/26/fda…

So what's happening with medical research in the US? This is the cumulative award count from the NIH for the year. Doesn't look so good. But it gets worse. 1/

Musk and the Trump administration seem intent on destroying medical research in the United States. I'm pretty sure no one voted for this.

Ask any cancer researcher and they’ll point you to emerging studies that suggest mRNA vaccines are about to transform cancer care. Stuff like this is simply throwing lives in the trash. Maybe yours.

Exciting times at Proscia! Our recent funding will propel AI innovation in pathology, enhancing precision medicine & diagnostics. Looking forward to accelerating breakthroughs, expanding the possibilities of AI, & transforming the future of healthcare!

Congress is considering massive, rushed cuts to #Medicaid. It is not possible to make cuts of this magnitude without negatively impacting cancer patients and their families. We can't let this happen. (2/3)

"The cumulative effect of cuts to federal health research funding and to staff at the HHS agencies will put our global leadership and our health at risk." -American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network

Trump pulls back 21 tractor-trailer loads of food going to Tennessee. The trucks contained nearly $1 million worth of food—over 377,000 lbs of nutritious proteins and dairy—meant to feed more than 200,000 people. "For Tennessee, the impact is immediate," the food bank said.

New: The entire CDC team focused on infertility & other assisted repro technology was laid off today as part of the larger CDC cuts. The small but highly specialized group consists of infertility researchers & experts responsible for tracking IVF cycles & creating data.

The NIH Clinical Center drops universal masking after 5 months of protecting patients, family, & staff. Wastewater-derived estimates indicate 2.79 million Americans are getting Covid per week AND top actuaries suggest an American dies of Covid every 3 minutes. 🧵1/5
