This is concerning.
NIH is changing their policy so that staff have to prepare justification for every application that is funded BUT NO DOCUMENTATION FOR APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SKIPPED (BASED ON PERCENTILES).

Faculty expressing their concerns seems to be having effects.
If you are in academia, make sure your administration knows your views on the compact.

This is an important point about the NIH's new multi-year funding model that many PIs (even some senior ones) aren't aware of:
Same as always. The funds are committed but the institution only gets them as reimbursements when they are spent. Since "NIH" is now comfortable terminating grants (and this could get worse after October 1st with the new Executive Order, there isn't much real benefit to institutions or PIs.
Is there any more clarity on how the multi-year funding works? Are PIs just getting the funds obligated or are they actually getting all the funding up front?

New, from an anonymous NIH insider: Trump is being pushed to spend more NIH money. The White House is ordering NIH to do multi-year budgets for awards. This budget trick means fewer awards, fewer labs funded, and lower paylines for researchers. 🧵

Alert: The Trump administration is quietly slashing new NIH grant awards, and it's not via the budget
NIH’s sudden move to multiyear grant funding is forcing shocking cuts in the number of grants funded. This is an effective budget cut. It's bad, folks.
