Residency applications to programs in abortion-restricted states declined among both women and men post-Dobbs, with the largest gaps in abortion-related specialties such as #OBGYN and family medicine. ja.ma/40KSNZj

HHS spent $33B (98%NIH) in 2023. With current average indirect rate of 30%, seems like a $4B funding shock coming to universities in the US I return, hope total NIH budget is raised by at least that much & certain F&A items allowed under direct costs with justification!
