I am so incredibly thrilled, honored and humbled to receive this @nih_nhlbi K23 and get to continue this really important and exciting work. I am incredible thankful for everyone to helped me get here. 1/3

Congrats to Michelle Starr @mcstarr1 for receiving her Notice of Award on her NHLBI K23 @nih_nhlbi on the interplay between acute kidney injury, fluid overload, and lung disease!

I’m also seeing the consequences of the new “no paylines” mandate and it’s not good. POs have a lot more power but they’re also being influenced by leadership mandates that deprioritize the demographics you would expect and certainly not lifting up ECRs.

What happens to AKI survivors? A new paper shows worse long-term cognition, reading, and math in children up to 15 years after severe malaria who had AKI during hospitalization. https://t.co/iZ6KVcV3aq

Do we need to rethink AKI follow-up care in children?

Please stop multi-year funding! We appreciate the resistance to reduce NIH funding, but the multi-year funding scheme is really hurting science. There won’t be anyone left…

[Michelle Starr MD MPH @mcstarr1]

@RoKhanna Please stop multi year funding! More grants means more opportunities for research like this. Happy to share our story if you need examples of how multi year funding stops progress.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

American science continues to shrink despite the story being told to the public.

And it’s the long term consequences that will be most devastating.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

NIH terminated $2.45 billion in grants in 2025.

Using NIH’s own economic multiplier (2.5–2.7x), that’s ~$6 billion in unrealized economic output.

Not to mention lost jobs, stalled discoveries, and a weakened scientific workforce.

Worst case of “saving money” ever💀

Federal Government still has not released funds approved by congress for NIH grants for this year — hopefully that will change soon
