The NIH has once again withdrawn applications to a high-profile predoctoral grant program that were submitted with a diversity notation, effectively blocking many early-career academics from underrepresented backgrounds from being funded. www.chronicle.com/article/nih-...
NIH Again Tosses Grant Applications for Program That Funds Minority Researchers
The agency, for the second time this year, has withdrawn applications for the F31 diversity fellowship, which is designed to “promote diversity in health-related research.”

I hate that I have to even type this post but the information must be shared: F31 diversity #nih grants are being removed again from study section (after being put back in for a period of time). Just to let yall know. My student was notified yesterday. @insidehighered.com @jeremymberg.bsky.social

Today, tons of Marylanders rallied at the Lincoln Memorial with Dr. Francis Collins, Bill Nye the Science Guy and thousands of others to tell MAGA to let our expert civil servant scientists get back to work, pursuing facts and conducting critical research for the common good.
Nooooooo. I was just thinking last week.. well at least Francis Collins is still there ☹️ www.npr.org/sections/sho...

🎉 This is the best news in a month!! Hold the line, America.
This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪. (We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.) Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings. Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/
Max Kozlov@maxkozlov.bsky.social · last yr.NEW: The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep funding frozen at the NIH - a move that some legal scholars say is illegal.

Thank you @chronicle.com for your reporting and bring attention to this very important issue!! These young talented scientists from disadvantaged backgrounds were wronged and this issue has now been corrected. Indeed, my student’s application is also now back in the planned study section.
Megan Zahneis@mzahneis.bsky.social · last yr.We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn. Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky
This impacted our lab (we have a student with one that got pulled from study section). The student worked so hard on it. They did everything they were supposed to do, and don’t deserve this. We want the work to be reviewed. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/t...
