@NIH While the indirect rates have in general been to high, it reflects that the direct costs have not been inflation-adjusted for decades. If you do this, put the money back into direct costs that actually fund the research. This is a total disaster for all universities.

NIH just made a drastic change to indirect cost rates, reducing the rate to 15%, a significant cut from the 60%+ some institutions charge. This will have a devastating effect on the nation’s medical research infrastructure. @ResearchAmerica @AAMC @YaleMed grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: buff.ly/3EtML7D

This approach to suddenly cutting @NIH grant indirect costs will cause chaos and harm biomedical research and researchers in hospitals, schools and institutes nationwide. A sane government would never do this.

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US. Without essential infrastructure, there will be: Staff cuts Lab closures Fewer research projects Less scientific progress Loss of talent The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Great visualization and a nice way for trainees to see what it takes to make it as an academic scientist. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

Excited to share our latest work developing DART transgenic mice and using them to profile m6A in single cells of the mouse brain. A fantastic study led by Matt Tegowski with contributions from @TheHolleyLab nature.com/articles/s4159…

@SvatiShah @robmentz @manesh_patelMD @Nishant_ShahMD @senthil_selv @MEbreitbach @aepetersMD @SJGreene_md Nice work - I hate those shrubbery nets!! My daughter and her ball python also applaud your good deed. 😃

Add this to the list of things I thought I would never do before I had boy children #boymom 🐍 🐍

Are you an MD student interested in research? Would strongly consider applying for the @SarnoffCardio Fellowship. Scientific immersion with *unparalleled* longitudinal mentorship & exceptional peer network career-long. sarnofffellowship.com My biggest regret in med school was not participating despite guidance from mentors. Now I'm thrilled to join this vibrant community on the Scientific Committee. Nice summary of the program ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… @CircAHA Track record of successful physician-scientists going through this program is impressive - the recipe of immersion + longitudinal engagement/sponsorship/mentorship works very well

@MuathBishawi @DukeCTSurgery @DukeSurgery @DukeHeartCenter @JacobNiall @EmoryCTSurgery @GeorgiaTech Congrats Muath - will miss you and wish you the best of luck and success at Emory and GA Tech!

Today is the end of my training @DukeCTSurgery @DukeSurgery @DukeHeartCenter . It’s fitting that my last case is a heart txp with @JacobNiall. A privilege to train under some of the best in the world. Excited for new adventures @EmoryCTSurgery @GeorgiaTech

RNA science has gone mainstream - learn from outreach experts how to best explain your research in a way that the public actually understands!  Join us for the Public Engagement in RNA Research Workshop scheduled just prior to RNA 2024 in Edinburgh. Registration required and the deadline for joining is tomorrow, May 16th! tfaforms.com/5125400

Learned so much from @KatherineZhouMD and @TheHolleyLab putting this together Keep an eye out for Katherine, she's a fantastic scientist! More to come soon 🧐 @RNADiscovery @UNC_Lineberger @chrisholley

Most viewed in the last 7 days from @JAMA_current: New USPSTF guidelines recommends all women undergo routine #breastcancer screening every other year beginning at age 40, an update from the 2016 recommendation to start at age 50. ja.ma/3JLTmtr

Exciting work with translational promise from the Holley and Freedman labs, presented at #AHA23 by Brittany Elliott, PhD:

@ChadSWeldy @StanCVFellows @euanashley @joshuawknowles @alyelezaby Congrats Chad!

Enormously proud to graduate from cardiology fellowship tonight @StanCVFellows. Mentors like @euanashley, Tom Quertermous, @joshuawknowles and my family and co-PSTP fellows @alyelezaby Caitlin Bell provided crucial support. My path was far from traditional…
