From public health to high-tech innovation, universities are the workhorses of national progress.
Universities are not passive beneficiaries of government largesse. It is the federal government that depends on universities to conduct the research that keeps our nation healthy, safe and economically competitive.I discuss in the Washington Post.

The only wow here is that none of them are scientists whose funding has been canceled.
Wow. A group of top scholars at @Harvard just sent a letter to its president, Alan Garber, warning against surrendering to Trump. Signatories include Steven Levitsky, Dani Rodrik, Ryan Enos, Theda Skocpol, and Steven Walt. Someone forwarded it to me. Read it here:

Senate Appropriations has a modest *INCREASE* in NIH funding but it will need to be recconciled with the house cut. If you have not been calling your representative of late now would be a good time to start again.

Some journals are claiming that you need to pay big $$ for gold open access to comply with NIH's new public access policy. FYI that is total bs. You can comply by depositing the Accepted Manuscript into PubMed Central on the Date of Publication without embargo. Pass it on.

NCI's payline will be the 4th percentile. The Trump administration has effectively killed Cancer Research in the US.

NCI funding policy for research project grant (RPG) awards reflects the funding goals of the institute, NIH, and HHS.

Senate Appropriations Science&Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending Sept 30, 2026 just posted-it's a completely repudiation of Trump's budget. NSF remains at 2025 levels. It also orders that many of the things he gutted at NOA OAR, NWS etc be restored and fully funds them.
