"This closing of the Federal Register was a change from the week before, where it was open, so things are changing very quickly and what is true today might not be by the end of the week.

Researchers interviewed by MedPage Today said with the Federal Register hold, and with no definitive timeline for resumption, scheduled grants that may have received outstanding scores can't meet their deadlines for hiring personnel, leasing space, or in clinical trials, recruiting study participants.

While this is true, it will be impossible to schedule new study section and advisory council meetings."

美国科研要凉凉了
同意，不要砍经费，但是可以更有效的使用经费。把 Indirect经费挪到 Direct，再砍掉那些跟随政治跑的课题，让科研不带政治，变成纯粹的科学探索。美国科研可以继续领先。
讲真的，NIH， NSF这些地方能有什么政治课题。 最多就是有些DEI hire program
你说的只是一厢情愿。后面怎么发展慢慢看着吧
非常同意。。 NIH的经费削减不仅仅是影响科研的问题，更导致很多大学里面老师工资没有着落（尤其那些依赖soft money的），可能会有大批裁员，同时给博后和研究助理发不出工资导致他们不能完成学位离开学界，以后科研的未来就被掐断了，后继无人
真的吗
那也太阔怕了，
华人科研工作者还是早做打算把，省的东西做一半，还被摘了桃子
其实有不少。。前几年很多研究minority group的健康为什么不好之类的课题被fund，都是大把的经费。。。设计项目的时候往黑人西班牙人身上多扯一扯也会得到更好的分数。。。DEI hire只是一方面，有很多以health disparity为主要研究目标的人都从NIH拿钱的。。。 更夸张的是，很多正常的研究项目，比如一些career项目，都需要写plan for diversity promotion之类的鬼文章，作为基金申请的一部分，甚至是评分的一部分。。。
树都砍了哪来的桃子。
那种付出好几年，实验做得大差不差被裁掉的真的很受打击。 这不是一份简单的为人打工的工作， 不是说裁了就影响个工资的事。 最重要的是几年的心血半途而废。
你跟川粉说这些，他们只会酸你站道德制高点。
说实话学术界的川粉真的非常少。我知道的几个都是教徒，也不知道是被施了什么法。现在就盼着他们被精准打击。
你说的没错
读博读一半，被告诉不能再读了
成果花几年时间做出来，文章写一半，被告知当场收拾东西走人
这种打击，不是几个月工资就能平复的
别不懂装懂。private 的15%那是因为有NIH更高的indirect在补偿。
