Though not posted to the register, SMN study section is tentatively re-scheduled for 4/22-4/23. For anyone lurking here for this information (as I do for an MCNP re-scheduling announcement).

Ooof. What a depressing outlook. So bad for people at NIH, us, and the country as a whole.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

NIH funding cuts could have ‘devastating impact’ on medical advancements, Chicago researchers say

The National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump announced this month that it was cutting payments covering overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants.

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham.bsky.social bit.ly/3X8ngz8

Federal Register hold makes ‘end run’ around court pause on NIH funding freeze

A starter pack! Some of my favorite women in neuroscience (sorry if I forgot you, I will add!) go.bsky.app/SCFmKoC

I made a starter pack for neuroscience folks but I just saw that it’s capped at 150 people. Sorry if I missed anyone! Maybe #neuroscience folks should start making subfield starter packs? 🧪 go.bsky.app/Q69XurQ

My plea to Dem leaders, liberal elites, social scientists, and every critical thinker who wants to keep fighting is to think beyond the perennial assumption that working-class drift can only be arrested by tweaking economic policy or talking points. Free to all. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...
