“Narrative paragraphs summarizing committee discussion will not be used. Instead, summaries will have a sentence describing the degree of consensus in the committee vote, plus bullets listing the main score driving points.“
Why not just give the score distribution and be done with it?

Deaths are horrible, but we should also remember the disabilities many of these diseases can leave people with. Huge human costs to these shoot-from-the-hip decisions!

The recent presidential budget request has a 40% increase in military spending and 10% cut to non-military spending, including a 25% cut to the NIH.
It seems worth pointing out that NIH (and other R&D) boosts the economy by 250%, whereas military spending (except R&D) shrinks the economy by 10%.
If this upsets you (& it should), contact your SRO copy your comments to csrdrr@mail.nih.gov, call your congress reps, and DEFINITELY provide feedback on this & other concerns about the NIH Strategic Plan through the Federal Register! Link on this page: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
CSR to continue the one-third triage cutoff for NIH grant review drugmonkey.wordpress.com/2026/04/06/c...
NIH watchers, you will be mostly unsurprised to see that the triage line will continue at ~one third past the first two rounds that were promised. I seen credible intel on that recently. In context that suggests this will be permanent. Ie CSR loves the results and the honoraria cost savings.

This is us🥲
