🧪 And House appropriators say: no cuts to NIH budget!
House subcommittee version just came out (link below). Holds NIH flat at $48 billion.
To be clear: this is far from over. But a good sign that science still matters across both sides of aisle.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS!!
U.S. health science is crumbling.
If Bhattacharya, Makary, Oz, et al — all once associated with academic biomedicine — had a thimble of courage and integrity they’d speak up.
But silence. They must know their legacy is now darkness.

UC reports today that $584 million in grant funding to UCLA has been suspended. This adds to months of delays, some previous cancellations, and uncertainty around fund disbursement even prior to the freeze. Where do we go from here

This is a clear attempt to wind down the NIH. Stop new funding now, pocket rescission, choke off funds in FY26. Done.
Paylines suddenly go from 4% to 0%.
Wait. I assumed this was about the multi-year funding issue, but it's much, much worse than that.
Is this for real?

A major NIH grant to study ways to restore hearing was terminated by the Trump administration bc it was awarded through a DEI initiative—to a researcher who qualified bc of his own hearing loss www.cnn.com/2025/07/29/h... @manorlaboratory.bsky.social
Put like this.....
New, from an anonymous NIH insider: Trump is being pushed to spend more NIH money. The White House is ordering NIH to do multi-year budgets for awards. This budget trick means fewer awards, fewer labs funded, and lower paylines for researchers. 🧵

In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists who were about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant applications for the US agency, Nature has learnt.

People who know me, know that I rarely curse or lose my temper, BUT THIS IS FUCKING INSANE! Let scientists do our fucking science without interference from some 21 year old frat boy named Big Balls.
UMASS IS RESCINDING ALL GRAD POSITIONS FOR THIS YEAR
I used the proteomics core at UAMS for a similar basic experiment and I had a great experience with them! Turnaround time 6-8 weeks and the price was reasonable.
