NOT-OD-25-084: NIH Operates Under a Continuing Resolution NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts: NIH Operates Under a Continuing Resolution NOT-OD-25-084. NIH

👀 📢🚨PIs: This is reason for your #NIH cuts. The cuts may be adjusted prior to the end of FY 2025, but the budget offices haven't determined that yet. Sorry, don't shoot the messenger, though I guess that's one way to reduce the #fedworkforce.

At this point, every conceivable way that #arestMuskNOW can design, to force resignations of #fedworkforce in that addled brain of his, he will.

Mining safety. Air safety. Food safety. Human health. You don't run these departments as 'businesses' to make a profit. That is not the point. These are humans keeping other humans safe. Musk isn't defunding the gov, he's dehumanizing all of us.

Quote text: Reductions-in-Force. Reducing the number of federal employees seems an obvious way to reduce the overall expense of the civil service, and many prior Administrations have attempted to do just this. Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama began their terms, as did Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, by mandating a freeze on the hiring of new federal employees, but these efforts did not lead to permanent and substantive reductions in the number of nondefense federal employees. First, it is a challenge even to know which workers to cut. As mentioned, there are 2 million federal employees, but since budgets have exploded, so has the total number of personnel with nearly 10 times more federal contractors than federal employees. Contractors are less expensive because they are not entitled to high government pensions or benefits and are easier to fire and discipline. In addition, millions of state government employees work under federal grants, in effect administering federal programs; these cannot be cut directly. Cutting federal employment can be helpful and can provide a simple story to average citizens, but cutting functions, levels, funds, and grants is much more important than setting simple employment size. Simply reducing numbers can actually increase costs.
