I wanna signal boost this - I am looking to recruit a prospective PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab at the University of Delaware in HDFS. My research concerns biopsychosocial mechanisms of health across the life course with an emphasis on stress and coping.

This part. There’s more at stake here than your research program, comrade. Not being the “tallest blade of grass” will not save your work when they are coming for the whole lawn with a flamethrower.

NIH puts former Sexual & Gender Minority Office employees on administrative leave After reassignment to other NIH jobs in December, employees of the Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office were recently put on administrative leave.

This office didn’t give out specific funding for research, but really helps to build capacity of junior researchers like myself. Another horrific cut to LGBTQIA+ research at NIH.

We shared our story about our NIH-funded LGBTQIA+ Alzheimer’s disease grants being terminated with Senator Markey team. It was brought up in yesterday’s hearing for new NIH director.

Our voices matter even if the outcomes don’t change.

NOT-OD-25-068: Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts: Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates NOT-OD-25-068. OD

Reducing the indirect rate on NIH grants to 15% will kill biomedical and health research in the US. I'm not exaggerating here. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Historically underrepresented in clinical studies, LGBTQIA+ people face systemic barriers that perpetuate health inequities and hinder the advancement of medical knowledge tailored to their needs.

Historically underrepresented in clinical studies, LGBTQIA+ people face systemic barriers that perpetuate health inequities and hinder the advancement of medical knowledge tailored to their needs.

A Comment article in Nature Medicine argues that clinical research should recruit participants from LGBTQIA+ populations, which requires specific actions and policies to create affirming and welcoming environments. https://go.nature.com/3WILuQi 🧪

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

I want to remind everyone that the far right sees transgender people as being worthy of segregation out of general society, "separate but equal" treatment that of course, is never equal.

So much so that Iowa Republicans literally tried to redefine the word equal to not mean "same" or "identical."
