The termination of @NIH's MOSAIC program is a massive loss for the next generation of researchers and threatens the future of the research workforce and human health. We remain committed to supporting MOSAIC Scholars with critical professional development resources for the remainder of the award and beyond. Read our full statement: https://t.co/kDpbcGsyYm

There are days in life that shake you.

I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

[AACR @AACR]

The AACR is deeply concerned that the Administration’s recent actions are threatening NIH and its mission to accelerate progress for patients with cancer and other diseases that afflict millions of Americans. We urge Congress to restore stability to NIH: https://t.co/lK1chJyh1j

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country.

@Freudlab @HHMINEWS Looks like a similar occurrence happened with listing University of Washington while the awardee is actually @fredhutch

[Mallory Smith, PhD @MalScienceGal]

@Freudlab Oh crap! At least it happened while you were there and not at 2am? 🙌🏼
