Hey PA folks, Fetterman's office now has a form where you can report on how your grants are being impacted. Let him know about your paused council, paused reviews, paused NOAs, etc!
PS, This link is from his 'Fetterletter' but I don't see it on his site. YMMV!

The super fucked up thing here is: If Cassidy thinks Kennedy requires this kind of oversight, why did he vote for him? And what kind of accountability does Cassidy have that ensures that Kennedy keeps these promises?
This is the list of assurances that led Sen. Cassidy to support Robert Kennedy for HHS Secretary yesterday, despite Kennedy's refusal to walk back his positions on vaccine safety, from my colleague @lizzylawrence.bsky.social's story.
For future reference.

Yesterday President Trump announced a pause on all federal grant disbursals. While it is a bit vague on details, it appears to include research grants. This would be devastating to American science. If you have not had a chance, call your Senators & Reps 🧪
