Hopefully Trump switches from hatchet mode to surgical knife sooner rather than later. Sorry to hear. There are lots of lives being massively impacted by this in all sorts of ways for no reason other than haste and headlines.

I read that they weren’t canceling NiH grants at Columbia. Nicht wahr?

Not a lot of details yet but the press release came from HHS, DoE, and GSA. I think GSA is just helping craft the individual cancellation letters. I tried to reread my link but GSA site is down for ‘maintenance’.

Having said that, there are not a lot of details released yet.

Hoping your noble medical research project is saved from the pyre.
The uncertainty you are under is so wasteful and unnecessary. A dictatorship of the inept executed by mindless bean counters

Hope things turn in the right direction for you @jon-nyc .

Our PI has't gotten a stop work letter yet so it seems like a good sign. Some colleagues of hers have for CDC-associated work. Maybe NIH really was excluded. Though it's the 800lb gorilla of grant making institutions.

No significant cuts on our side yet, that I’m aware of anyway.

How were you funded and what percentage? Was it one grant or more?

Is stem cell involved?
If not, maybe the churches can step in. -

It was a single U Grant originally for $6MM. I'm not exactly sure how much has been billed against it, my guess is roughly half.
We're looking into the possibility that one or two other center might be able to invoice the NIH directly for their participation based on the way the grant is worded, which would help. We will also fundraise against it both from interested biotechs and patients. We will also have patients send letters, especially patients in Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Utah which all have GOP senators and affected centers.
Senator Thom Tillis may not see the logic in cutting rare disease funding at UNC because Hamilton Hall was occupied last year. Ditto Mike Lee and UU.

That’s a bummer. Hopefully the work can continue.

The work won't end, it's too important, we won't let it.
The bigger fear is what happens with research and clinical trials generally if the indirects get cut overnight. That's too much for a little foundation to backstop.

I can see cutting future grants. Cutting active studies, especially clinical trials, is exceptionally wasteful.
