Graphic helps visualize how MYF funds FEWER grants despite the increase in budget approval by Congress. https://www.researchamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/ACT-for-NIH-Multi-Year-Funding-One-Pager_October-2025.pdf
🧪IMPORTANT! This graphic explains how science all over the US is funded. Congress approved a 2% increase in the #NIH budget for FY 26.
Buried in the bill-
Shift of ~40% of grants to MYF. This will still result in a 35% DECREASE in the NUMBER of grants funded per yr.
Russel Vought is behind this.
Good news from NIH!
Michael Chiang has apparently been reappointed as Director of the National Eye Institute

Great overview of the damage to science over the past year.
This shows NIH awarded 24% fewer new research awards in FY2025 vs 2024.
The multiyear funding language in the new LHHS bill means we should expect the same amount of new science this year.

Congratulations, Megan!! So well-deserved!!
The NIH's MYF policy in 2025 resulted in 4000 fewer grants and fellowships that touched every area of biology and medicine; continuing it in 2026 would be disastrous for science, technology and health in the United States 🧪

I will honestly eat all of these, but I have to admit that I’ve become partial to the Trader Joe’s dark chocolate version
I got some of those too. I loved how noncommittal it was 😂
Yes. We have the game on mute (M is having a saxophone lesson) but we could see what they were looking at on the replay
