Thank you to everyone who has supported my postdoc Ugur Akcan and his research to elucidate how PANDAS/PANS is triggered in the brain. We still need more help to reach our goal in order to support Ugur for an additional year while NIH funding is terminated. Thank you!! ♥️♥️

@JasonSynaptic Thank you @JasonSynaptic. Unfortunately we will have to resort everything to keep the young scientist careers alive in the middle of this awful situation.

As of today @Columbia has not received ANY of the terminated funding and many non-competitive renewal of federal grants. Therefore, last week the university starting laying off postdocs. If you care about PANDAS research please support my postdoc

We are extremely grateful to @PANDASPPN for their support of Dr. Ugur Akcan ( @occludens ) to continue his studies on the mechanisms by which RXRA affects immune responses in PANDAS/PANS after he lost his NIH fellowship. Thank you!!!!!
PPN awards @AgalliuLab funding to support Dr. Uğur Akcan's study which will provide insight into the mechanisms by which the RXRA genetic risk factor identified in PANDAS children affects immune responses that trigger psychological changes, including OCD. https://t.co/tj94zWJjK9

Finally, someone is reporting on how funding of new NIH grants is effectively frozen due to an administrative block 👇 Grants already submitted cannot be reviewed, and grants already reviewed with excellent scores cannot be funded. This is the opposite of "efficiency".
A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham

Extraordinary and chilling news out of Vanderbilt. Expect peer institutions to show higher yields on offers. At Hopkins @CMM_JHU , we will admit, but make fewer offers out of an abundance of caution. https://t.co/Zp7BUdAl73

The path to scientific discoveries is not easy and requires a lot of funding. If you are interested in us continuing our work to unravel the mechanisms by which Group A Strep trigger PANDAS/PANS in the brain please consider DONATING to the @AgalliuLab as a gift at the end of 2024

Imagine if you woke up this morning and found that the NIH-funded database that holds all of the data that you and thousands of other scientists around the world consult every day was turned off. Gone. Despite many efforts by a community of scientists to lobby @NIH @NIHDirector
