By “heartfelt letter,” do you mean “Summary Statement?”
Hey all, I reached out to the PO of my NIGMS MIRA to ask if the gov't shut down, and rescheduling of study sections, might allow for some accommodation to the standard rule that PIs cannot resubmit a MIRA while their MIRA (or other RPG) is under review (waiting in scores or summary statements) 🧪
Does anyone know if no-cost extensions at NIH are still at thing? Has anyone gotten one? Any insights at all apart from "don't count on it?" (which is the advice we get from our grants managers...)

According to news reports, NIH is on track to award nearly all of its FY25 budget. Program officers—working long hours despite staff losses—made it possible. Take a moment to thank your PO for their dedication.
A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails. Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits. Thank you!

Preprint on tandem split-GFP influenza viruses is now up! We strung 7 copies of GFP11 together to make a bright virus with minimal fitness defects. Fluorescence requires GFP1-10 from cells, so we made a few that are relevant for flu. See this fluorescent love story: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

A P/W lab student who had his F31-DIV terminated just got a very fundable score on the (same) F31 he submitted again as a new application in April. Its almost as if his science and aptitude had nothing to do with "DEI" 🤔 Hope this inspires others with unfairly terminated awards to try again!
