"Between Inauguration Day and 2/15, roughly $781M have been awarded... a nearly 56% decrease compared to the same period in 2024 when $1.8B was awarded. And with almost all grant review meetings on indefinite hold at NIH, ... the plunge in funding is likely to continue."

Look folks: the US has completely ceased funding biomedical research. This is a catastrophe on so many levels: making new discoveries, supporting existing labs, training the next generation of scientists, US competitiveness... What are we doing? nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Unfortunately, due to recent and ongoing NIH restrictions, we have had to indefinitely postpone the next NAMS meeting at NIH. We are tentatively rescheduling for Fall, but we'll see...
