Researchers surveyed by STAT detail the toll of grant cuts: labs shutting down, data unanalyzed STAT interviews with 30 respondents brought the unmistakably human impacts of federal science policy into sharp focus. Here are three of those stories.

#NIH awards K99 to post doctoral researchers to help them become independent scientists. These are the next gen scientists that propel research forward. Early career scientists feel the brunt.

For ongoing studies, data goes unanalyzed when funding was terminated abruptly.

NIH restrictions on foreign research partnerships significantly impacted 1 in 4 U.S. scientists In a survey of NIH-funded scientists, 25% said their research had been impacted a great deal or a fair amount by a move away from foreign subawards.

The NIH campus in Bethesda is one of the most important medical research institutions on Earth. Federal grant cancellations and staff cuts threaten work that saves millions of lives globally.

This isn't budget efficiency. It's sabotage. #NoKings #Maryland #NIH

Congress already told Trump to kick rocks and increased #biomedical #NIH research funding (not enough but certainly did not cut it).
The problem is the money is not flowing. At the #physiology Congressional briefing a researcher with a perfect score last summer still has not received money

Russell Vought is OMB Director. OMB decides how appropriated funds reach agencies. Congress set NIH at ~$47.2B for FY2026. His office has faced criticism for delays/restrictions in release. New awards and success rates have dropped. #NIH #ScienceFunding

Since the 1950s, the #federal govt has consistently operated as the predominant source of #research #funding for #universities, acc/to the #NSF.

One of the largest govt sources of research funding has been the #NIH, which disburses about $35 billion each year. The largest recipients of those […]

Hey, y'all! I'll be at the #MECFS #NIH conference M-Tu and Monique and I are resting the rest of next week!

OMG! Learned something new today. A side effect of my new medication is #nausea and it lasts for 4 to 6 weeks.

I was hesitant to take another medication solely to counteract the side effects, so they suggested sniffing alcohol pads. Surprisingly, it actually worked!

#NIH article attached below.

This is important.

1. Congress approved higher #NIH budget. But # of awarded grants is low.

2. 94% fewer funding announcements released.

3. Majority of terminated grants have NOT been reinstated.

4. Early career scientists are in limbo.

Impeach Russel Vought.
