One class of NIH grants that are crucial to developing future generations of biomedical workers are

NIH training grants using the T32 mechanism.

These awards provide direct support for graduate students and/or fellows during at least part of their training periods.

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78)

I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine
