āSince the ruling, we are really encouraged. But we havenāt heard anything from the NIH about our grants being reinstated, and we donāt have a window into what that process looks like.ā ā Heidi Moseson, Senior Research Scientist #IbisDrivesChange.
Researchers āCautiously Optimisticā @NIH Will Restore Grants. A judge ruled last week that the NIH unlawfully terminated hundreds of research grants and ordered the agency to restore them. Internal rumblings suggest the NIH will comply, but researchers.
