Today #NIH is terminating more than $250 million in funding—including more than 400 grants—to Columbia University following directives from the Trump Administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. The cancellations are due to Columbia University’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.






I’m confused. For years people complained about excessively stringent paylines @NIH reduced budgets for labs & general clunkiness of the system but now they don’t want an audit of budget allocation to reduce non-research excesses because the audit is done by guys in their 20s?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
