It should be resumed on Feb 1st. I understand why they’re concerned (everyone wants more money) but from what I can tell this is just grant approvals, and it will resume on the first.
Oh good, it’s just grant proposals so only some people will lose their labs due to the idiotic politicization of the NIH. This pushes back study sections by months even if they do resume on Feb 1. You can’t just schedule x leading researchers to review a grant on a whim, it’s planned months in advance.
Which will have basically no impact on anything important but everyone here is screaming like the sky is falling
Have you spoken to any PI, postdoc, or student, or literally anybody in the academia about this?
People will absolutely lose their labs over this, please stop spreading lies either intentionally or from a place of ignorance.
I agree with the other guy, usually funding is dispersed in months or years at a time, so this shouldn't impact anyone in a meaningful way (unless they're doing gain of function research, in which case their lab will likely stop receiving funding).
