The termination of @NIH's MOSAIC program is a massive loss for the next generation of researchers and threatens the future of the research workforce and human health. We remain committed to supporting MOSAIC Scholars with critical professional development resources for the remainder of the award and beyond. Read our full statement: bit.ly/4i1aOc4

@OncoAdvLukas @NIH But there aren't more funds. IDCs are added on top of a research grant budget. You can't do oncology studies without places to store samples, electricity to keep them cold, and staff to maintain facilities (all IDCs). Resources are being taken away, not redirected.

@NIH NIH lowering the indirect cost rate to 15% is a game-changer for research funding. This shift ensures more resources are directed towards oncology studies, enhancing patient care and treatment advancements.

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Imagine trying to do biomedical scientific research without a lab to do it in. Last I checked, you can't house model organisms, or MRI machines, or safely stored infectious viruses in your home office. These facilities are necessary for life-saving research and they! cost! money!

Federal restrictions and funding freezes threaten vital research and halts scientific progress that benefits all Americans. Act now and join fellow #NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect congressionally approved funding and ensure uninterrupted support for the scientific workforce. 🔗 Contact your representatives using SfN’s Action Alert Center: bit.ly/413khdN #NeuroTwitter #SciTwitter #AcademicTwitter

So, yes, students really are asked to volunteer their labor for PhD programs. And they're asked to do it a lot for programs that really should be devoted to providing students with excellent training support. (5/5)

However, those 3900, now paid, hours do not include the unpaid labor students are often asked to give in administrative work just for the basic requirements of the PhD Program to be met, like administering qualification exams. (4/5)

During negotiations with @TRUhopkins yesterday, administrators asked "if it was really true that workers were asked to take on additional unpaid work over the course of their degree." Yes, and its how some departments are able to function at all. 🧵(1/5)

@ZeitzerJennifer @JRobinsonHamm Thank you! I'm so pleased that it was a useful tool to advocate for the spending that Congress must allocate to support our needed scientific research workforce!

Sending a 🗣️ out to former FASEB SciPol Fellow @GraciousSteward whose fact sheet on the CHIPS+Science Act went viral this week during Capitol Hill Day! Grace was mentored by @JRobinsonHamm during her fellowship. See Grace's work at bitly.ws/BUPz!

As someone looking for potential positions after my PhD, when a job posting doesn't include an expected salary range, is that generally a red flag for the position and/or company? Or no? #phdvoice #careeradvice

Really stoked to see that @NSF @NCSESgov will be piloting sexual orientation and gender identity data collection questions on the 2024 Survey of Earned Doctorates! We'll finally have national landscape data on this PhD population 🎉👏 govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR…
