It is really tough- this was a good guide to how to respond: elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-we-ne... also when you go to comment, regulations.gov also has a "how to leave an effective comment" guide. But the reality is: this is for sure bad faith and offensive :(

On a call with NIH PO this morning - I knew NOSIs were no longer a thing, but wasn't aware they now have these "Highlighted Topics". Not clear how it exactly interfaces with funding and/or how you highlight alignment, but good to keep an eye on! grants.nih.gov/funding/find...

Congressional appropriators have largely pushed back on Trump's proposals for the NIH: -Slight budget increase -No changes to indirect cost payments -Limits use of multiyear funding to FY25 levels (NOT FY24) From @jonathanwosen.bsky.social & I www.statnews.com/2026/01/20/n...

House and Senate appropriators endorse NIH budget increase, reject Trump’s proposed cuts

Horrible idea. AI will regress all grants towards the mean since AI is trained to produce the average output. Grants require expertise that ignores bad literature and rejects author assertions if false. no AI review I've seen has ever challenged the author's assertions as fundamentally flawed.
