This is not just about new grants. NIH R01 grants are 5 years long. Each year however, the PI must submit a progress report, after which NIH signs off for another year of funding. That isn't happening. Labs which had years of funding lined up are suddenly contemplating layoffs, ending research midway. It is devastating, stupid, and frankly, I am beyond angry. And I am also seeing the possibility that everything I've worked so hard to achieve over the last 20 years go to pieces. We will have no king here, and we need to start remembering that fast.
