FY26 was the hardest LHHS bill I’ve ever worked on. After a year spent witnessing this administration tear apart and eliminate entire federal programs that millions of Americans rely on, our bill re-establishes and increases funding for many of them. It provides a $415 million increase for The National Institutes of Health, among many important others, and ensures that investment results in more research grants being awarded. This bill is the culmination of an incredibly long, frustrating, exhausting negotiating process of late and sleepless nights. It always is. But this year was different for all of the obvious reasons. There were moments we didn’t think we could possibly get it done. I’m proud we kept up the fight until the bitter end because what we achieved is pretty damn impressive. Did we get everything we wanted? No, it’s never enough. That’s why it’s a compromise. But there are a number of bright spots sprinkled throughout the final product that matter. The most important is that Congress is finally reasserting its power of the purse. 💰 Hope is on the horizon. So let’s go, we’re ready for year 2.

I still think if you have a completed story you believe is ready to submit then there is no disadvantage to pre-printing. We always pre-print first and then decide where to submit. As stressed above this in effect mitigates ‘scooping’. Revision requests in every field have got out of control.

“Applications voted…to be in the middle third will be designated as “competitive but not discussed” and applications in the lowest third will be designated as “not competitive and not discussed”. Applications in the middle third will be considered for funding, along with the discussed applications”

You are correct. In the past, it was okay to say that the application was funded because it received a 4th percentile and the payline was the 10th percentile.

Now additional justification must be provided.

But, in the past, if a 4th %ile app was not funded, documentation was required. Now, nothing
