I just noticed that NCHAT's @icpsr.bsky.social website has a new disclaimer "This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives." I am not sure what this means, but I wanted to let everyone know.
A screen shot of the National Couples' Health and Time Study webiste at DSDR, with the language "This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives." at the top circled in red.

My federal grants with @wendymanning.bsky.social and Ann Meier were terminated last week. The language from the termination is below. It has been sad as we are being forced to say goodbye to members of our team. We are figuring out next steps. We remain deeply committed to studying all families.
This award no longer effectuates agency priorities. Research programs based primarily on artificial and non-scientific categories, including amorphous equity objectives, are antithetical to the scientific inquiry, do nothing to expand our knowledge of living systems, provide low returns on investment, and ultimately do not enhance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness. Worse, so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) studies are often used to support unlawful discrimination on the basis of race and other protected characteristics, which harms the health of Americans. Therefore, it is the policy of NIH not to prioritize such research programs.
