Below, from earlier today, confirmed @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2025/04/18/n...

NIH said to have halted awarding of new grants to more top universities

Universities whose NIH funding has been frozen may face further strain as the agency holds off awarding new grants to at least a half dozen of them, according to an internal email.

Max Kozlov@maxkozlov.bsky.social · last yr.

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools) Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

Exciting news!! We are happy to announce that we will have a HIPC Symposium at @aai.org on Tues, May 6th. HIPC will also have a Super Booth at #AAI2025 along with @iedb.bsky.social and the iAKC Project. Check out the full Symposia list, and see you there! 🔗: immunology2025.aai.org/guest-sympos...
