Hi everyone, I’m the graduate student here. I’ve never felt a worse feeling than this moment. There is no way to justify what’s been happening. I wasn’t even notified that my study section wasn’t meeting. I still haven’t been notified. I’ve effectively been ghosted by the NIH - make it make sense.

Today my graduate student's F31 should be getting reviewed. She worked so fucking hard on this proposal. Yesterday in lab meeting I watched in real time as the realization that her grant wasn't getting reviewed hit her like a train. Hundreds of people feeling this way every week.
