NIH slowdown hit women hardest. Five years of gain erased in ~1.5 cycles. Female PI-led R01 grants ⇣938 with $444M gone. This chart is the cleanest capture of this loss. Cuts landed where women lead: breast, ovarian, and gynecologic cancers. Dig deeper & the gap keeps widening: ▫️ women start small: $0.94M vs $1.4M for men ▫️ larger losses: 57.9% vs 48.2% for men ▪️ early-career hit hardest: 59.8% of affected assistant professor grants are women led This is how you reset a generation: ↳ cut funding → fewer labs ↳ fewer labs → fewer leaders ↳ fewer leaders → fewer women at the top Pipelines don't bounce back, they just thin out silently. If you are a woman in science, now is the time to pay attention Read more about this in first comment below = = = = = Source: NIH RePORTER via Jori (@jori_health) Method: PI gender-inference is non-trivial. Jori classified 91% algorithmically, then we manually reviewed profiles to classify another 6% (ie, ~ 3% remain unclassified). This chart reflects the 97% classified names with high confidence. = = = = =
