CLS thanks Senator Baldwin @baldwin.senate.gov for championing the provision we requested to limit multi-year awards at NIH!!!!
In June, CLS predicted that success rates would PLUMMET if NIH implemented multiyear funding.
NCI just confirmed.
9% down to 4%!!!!

Today CLS brings attention to a sleeper cell proposal in the President's NIH Budget for FY26: Multi-Year Awards.
Read our statement to learn why this "nothing to see here" boring-sounding proposal would actually be DEVASTATING to research.

1 Concrete Way to Fight: submit a comment on the regulations implementing Schedule F.
They want to make our public health experts into political position.
Hands off our science!

Meet me outside of the CDC with your pregnant bellies, your babies, your toddlers, your strollers, your signs, and your baby gear.
We are standing up for science and vaccines!

Today CLS objected to the proposed politicization of staff positions at US Science Agencies, particularly program managers whose expertise is critical to a strong and vibrant innovation ecosystem.

Proud to stand with our member @asm.org correcting the record on this LIFESAVING research.
CLS stormed Capitol Hill Thursday, delivering our message of the terrible consequences from abrupt terminations of grants.

Pauses, interruptions and rescissions of research funds are slowing work that is vital for developing lifesaving treatments for chronic and infectious diseases. ASBMB is a member of @c4lifesciences.bsky.social, which calls on the administration to restore funding.

Super grateful for the staffers, including Kaitlyn Kelly in @schiff.senate.gov’s office, who took the time to meet with me and other members of the @c4lifesciences.bsky.social to discuss the cuts to federal funding of science and biomedical research.

MAKE NO MISTAKE.
When the Administration puts the Drug Addiction and Mental Health Institutes into a Behavioral Health Institute .....
They are classifying addiction and mental illness as moral weaknesses, not neurological conditions.
This is going backwards.

Need an easy way to understand the Proposed Reorganization of NIH. Here you go!

Abrupt termination of research doesn't stop waste, it CREATES waste! We call on @hhsgov.govmirrors.com to restore the funding without delay! #Cuts2Science
HHS funded researchers!
Head over to LinkedIn and give a recommendation for your program officers, your scientific review officers, your intramural collaborators.
It will take you one minute but it could make a difference in their careers.
#solidarity
Please contribute to any and all datasets being compiled! Data is power.
Honoring Ms Lowey for her decades of support for life sciences. May her memory be a blessing.
Working on a story for @sfchronicle.com about the administration's impacts to science, including #NIH and #NSF funding. Hoping to chat with early-career scientists, especially grad students and postdocs, about how you've been affected. Thanks!
Signal: jacklee.55
NIH website and all of its subsites are down.
NSF and CDC remain up.

Hearing that many scientists fear speaking out ... for good reason.
Health and science reporters, I have a board FULL of life scientists who would be happy to go on the record. Any time, any (science) topic.

The Covid nasal vaccines may be next up to be axed.
Scientists in training, we need your stories!
Post a two minute video … if your program has been cancelled, if your acceptance has been rescinded, if your future is on hold. Tell the world your story.

Tag us, tag your member of Congress.
Our Co-Chair Dr. Jo Handelsman @johandelsman.bsky.social was featured on Wisconsin Public Radio this morning talking about the Administration's recent cuts to Facilities and Administration (aka Indirect) costs.
Listen here!
This is a long but beautiful story of how research on squid 🦑 eventually results in a critical tool for the opioid epidemic: non-addictive pain medicine.
We ❤️ science.
#basicresearch #researchmatters
Maybe also a nod to the Congress that funded the HEAL initiative at NIH starting in 2018?
$500 million per year. Major goals: non-addictive pain medicine; better treatments for opioid addiction.
Political leaders who support research can help make a difference.
