For folks reading, the best luck I've had in getting a good study section assignment is to work on my abstract. Use the SS finder tool and make sure to include key words that are priorities for the SS you're targeting, keep tweaking until it comes out top. Im convinced this is their process anyway

👆Cuts always hurt those with less reputational advantages more. If NIH wants to increase funding to IDeA states, the easiest way is to increase the overall NIH budget and the amount dedicated to IDeA co-funding, so that strong applications that just miss paylines get picked up.

For ESIs dealing with grants being rescinded: if an investigator’s 1st substantial independent research award is terminated within the first 3 years of the project period (not due to scientific misconduct ) they can request the reinstatement of ESI status

This IS grant shaming and I think it is an error. NIH grant award is not just hard, it is also biased in various ways. A lack of success could be due to the circular logic of review by the previously successful. Epidemiology and health economics could very well deserve more funding than they receive
We're not trying to grant-shame here. NIH grants are HARD to get. We get it. They are very competitive.

But what this all means is Bhattacharya is a health economist not a medical researcher, and someone who didn't really, couldn't really, get NIH grants on his own.
