NIH Study Section Watch Day 1: No communication about rescheduling.
Odd or jarring as it might be for some in my professional community, this brilliant @pbs.org documntary echoes aspects of my bkgrnd.
Science was the path for me & that was entirely fortuitous.
Hope many of you find a chance to watch this & think on how (& to whom) we open doors of opportunity!

NIH's updated multi-year payout policy (funding all years of a grant upfront vs. annually) could dramatically reduce new R01s available. While total awards are "catching up," the impact on new investigators remains concerning. With budget negotiations underway, now's the time to contact your reps!
Here is a plot in terms of PROJECTS rather than dollars. I am using projects rather than awards so that projects that received supplements do not get double-counted.
While the FY25 curve is improving, it seems that the number of funded projects will drop by 3000-4000 compared with FY24.

1) understand where the payline is and what score compression looks like. I suspect a 1 will be required. Maybe 1 or 2 apps will be funded per SS.
2) be kind to ESI/NI and other discriminated groups
3) maybe drop the whole "this is an A1 but I'm going to pretend it's not" approach.
