Northwestern’s Minoli Perera, writing in The Daily Northwestern and Academe Blog: “We were awarded an R01 grant by the National Institutes of Health to study genetic predictors of cardiovascular drug response in Puerto Ricans. I knew as a scientist that the incoming Trump administration would be problematic, but I never imagined what was coming (NIH pulled funding). Northwestern promptly appealed the decision, and the answer (from NIH) came (a few months later): my work no longer aligned with NIH priorities. I went from a funded, successful scientist to someone just hanging on, hoping her lab would survive.” Read the full commentary here.
