🧪IMPORTANT! This graphic explains how science all over the US is funded. Congress approved a 2% increase in the #NIH budget for FY 26.

Buried in the bill-
Shift of ~40% of grants to MYF. This will still result in a 35% DECREASE in the NUMBER of grants funded per yr.

Russel Vought is behind this.
Graphic helps visualize how MYF funds FEWER grants despite the increase in budget approval by Congress. https://www.researchamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/ACT-for-NIH-Multi-Year-Funding-One-Pager_October-2025.pdf

Because we have a ton of adequately skilled American faculty and #researchers training in #nephrology (lot of work, relatively poor pay) and #Geriatrics (relatively poor pay, #ageism rampant in US) and basic #medical science (the paylines from #NIH were cut by ~50%)

Striking nativist editorializing by the federal judge who just upheld the $100,000 tax on high-skill immigrants.

She opines that it’s “troubling” that universities hire talent from abroad at all, instead of only native grads.

Then admits (!) that opinion is irrelevant (So why write it? Venting?)
“For instance, nine of AAU’s members submitted declarations on behalf of their universities disclosing that they employed, in total, approximately 4,500 H-1B employees, including as faculty and in research positions, see ECF Nos. 18-8 to 18-16—raising puzzling questions about why these same academic institutions are not producing sufficient numbers of adequately skilled American faculty and researchers—or whether other factors are at play—but those questions range far beyond the purview of the current case to answer.”

Mitochondria are among nature's most remarkable gifts to us. These tiny powerhouses are essential for providing
energy and stand at the forefront of anti-aging science, serving as the driving
force behind strategies to promote healthy longevity.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science.

This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

Science in reviewing grant proposals. The changes permit as few as one outside review rather than the current minimum of three, end the routine use of expert panels to discuss those individual reviews, and give program managers greater authority to recommend which proposals should or should not be funded. They are described in an internal 1 December staff memo that Science has obtained and mentioned briefly in an update to NSF's grantmaking manual posted on 8 December. A major reason for the smaller staff is the elimination of hundreds of so-called rotators, scientists on loan from academia who served as program managers as well as higher level administrators. Their absence, combined with the new review policy, represent a major change in how NSF

If you’ve ever worked inside a federal agency, or know someone who has, you already know this kind of purging weakens our country.

HEIST documents how institutions are dismantled from the inside out.
