Pretty excited that we synced the #AANAM Clinical Trials Plenary with @nejm.org publication of these important studies in MS.

#AANAM We are so ready!

Pretty excited to start the #AANAM tomorrow with this powerhouse duo!

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

Federal Register hold makes ‘end run’ around court pause on NIH funding freeze NIH-related updates to the Federal Register, which are required for the scheduling of study sections and advisory councils, are on hold indefinitely, according to an email reviewed by <i>The Transmitt...

Study sections at NIH are being cancelled with hours notice because NIH employees are essentially locked out of their IT system with no end in sight. Unconscionable. www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

For every $100 million of funding, NIH-supported research generates 76 patents. These patents create opportunities for an estimated $598 million in further research and development.

NIH announces new funding policy that rattles medical researchers The National Institutes of Health has dramatically changed its grant-making terms by limiting how much it will disperse for costs such as equipment and administration.

Outcry as NIH Plans $4 Billion in Cuts to Reimburse Scientists The National Institutes of Health plans to cut billions of dollars in reimbursements to medical researchers, a move scientists warn could jeopardize their work in advancing cures for diseases.

The US plans to cut billions in reimbursements to medical researchers for items such as hazardous waste disposal.

But indirects are how we pay for electricity, maintenance, and many other operational costs of a university. I don’t pay rent for my office at work. Or the water bill, for example.

You might wonder what the big deal is—it’s cutting overhead, right? Who cares?! The research won’t be impacted…

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

It can’t be overstated what a disaster this is for research universities. There is nothing partisan about researching the best treatments for illness and injury. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

National Institutes of Health cancels scientific meetings after Trump directives An email obtained by NPR says NIH employees are subject to a travel freeze and offers of employment are being rescinded. Scientists worry about disruptions to critical research.
