CEO of Chase?

I did. I saw your further points that are basically the same as what I said. Still valid for Catholics to feel insulted or disgusted at Trump’s sheer audacity on a daily basis.

Blasphemy? No. Do we make jokes internally about the pope? Sure. But normalizing Trump’s childish behavior as the head of state isn’t the right play and not calling this out for being insulting isn’t it either.

Because federal grants/research is for the greater good. It’s open to the public because our tax payers fund it. If the precedent is set that we are no longer funding research- it has terrible consequences for our society as a whole. Look at the history post WW2 of the partnership.

They sent letters to universities conditionally terminating awards unless they signed a letter agreeing to the reduced 15% rate moving forward. They learned from NIH’s case and are trying to have compliance in advance.

This one is for the Friday night “policy flash” trying to cut indirect to 15%… the same crap NIH tried to pull on Feb 7 and was shot down by the courts. Particularly egregious since many Dept of Energy grants REQUIRE the recipient to cost share 20-25% of the project costs with internal funds!

Energy Department cuts university overhead rates to 15% on research grants Sudden move mirrors NIH cap on “indirect” costs that was ruled illegal

But it’s not. First of all, Endowments are largely used to support tuition. Secondly, not every R1 or R2 has an endowment or a big enough endowment to begin to try to weather this. The blanket indirect rate of 15% decimates every single university in this country who does any research at all.

As one of his constituents-NO! And the staffer I talked to today couldn’t be bothered to even hide her side conversation and asked me to repeat myself twice. Completely unacceptable.

Seriously-and all that red tape with IACUC and FCOI! Come on… are there too many regulations? Probably. But don’t sit here and say “grant offices” are the enemy because we enforce safeguards and ensure proper accounting 😡

My tween/teen kids are very social-get on FaceTime and “hang” with their friends from their homes and play video games together as if they were in person. It’s not the exact same but it’s also not a complete departure from socializing with peers.

I got an email at my institution today letting me know they were manually reviewing all already awarded grants before approving payments. Encouraged “proactively” answering bulleted questions to ensure faster review to align with “Secretary Noem’s” priorities!

RA? Because sadly there were at least two of them and pretty sure the second was real 😑

Hoosier here who will happily donate for that fight 😡

N.I.H. Research Grants Lag $1 Billion Behind Last Year’s After weeks of disruption to scientific federal grants, the National Institutes of Health has fallen behind in funding research into treatments for deadly diseases.

This morning, Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin — a "stop the steal" organizer and Jan. 6 defendant advocate — sent an email titled "Operation Whirlwind" in which he said he's personally launched an investigation into Sen. Chuck Schumer.

Makes sense. It didn’t read like ANY NOT I’ve ever seen NIH issue. Everything in the verbiage was wrong and not rooted in the reality of working in research administration with higher ed.

Literally the first thing I said as an elder millennial who grew up on DARE 😂. Can’t wait to hear about the (legal in most states) gateway drugs!

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Because you have to have critical thinking skills to understand the tool you’re using. Our fellow Americans have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt the majority does NOT have those skills—and intends to defund DofEd. This becomes a weapon of propaganda in those hands and not a tool for advancement

Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

A post by an employee working at the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation. She writes: Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda? The admin told media yesterday that the HHS cuts were "targeted" and didn't included scientists or people working on Medicare & Medicaid. Well I know of scientists who got fired and I work on Medicaid. Just wanted to point out when you get things wrong -- like you requested

Going to miss Open Mike and the blog posts. Helped me for 10+ years navigating grants with NIH and pointing new faculty towards. I knew as soon as I saw that (rightful) memo he was on the chopping block.

I just loled at the peak millennial LoWEr uPpEr cApS 😆

It’s verbatim what was used in the NOT. And the “survey” was exactly what I thought… published policies from universities publicly available about reduced or waived F&A…but doesn’t take the entire picture into account

And they are negotiated based on real costs during a THOROUGH cost rate analysis, usually yearly or every other year. Most universities have at least a person if not an office dedicated to tracking this and negotiating the costs. It’s hard to “pad” costs into this process!
