Berg Curves in the wild! These funding curves--first created by @jeremymberg.bsky.social last year--continue to be one of the more impactful pages on Grant Witness' webpage. Hard to argue that NIH is healthy when the facts are so stark and staring at you in the face.

AHRQ exists to find ways to deliver better, lower cost healthcare. Trump’s gutting it. Earlier today, we posted what we believe is a complete list of AHRQ terminations from last week. ⤵️ If you have more info, please submit it here: grant-witness.us/submit-nih-a...
Grant Witnessgrant-witness.usNoam RossLast week's terminations at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) total at least 150 grants worth $230M. That is over half of the agency's portfolio. It's the latest assault on healthcare, health equity, and the rule of law. grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... #AHRQ 🧪
‼️ AHRQ is in the midst of a mass grant termination event. We (at Grant Witness) need your help to launch a tracker ASAP. If you received an AHRQ termination notice--or if you know of someone else who did--please submit information about the grant here: grant-witness.us/submit-nih.h...
AHRQ is a no-brainer for anyone interested in better, cheaper healthcare. Congress agrees and has funded it accordingly, but Trump & OMB are hellbent on killing it. New AHRQ awards by fiscal year: FY24: 317 (pre-Trump) FY25: 6 FY26: 0 See more of our curves here: grant-witness.us/funding_curv...
Miranda YaverHouse Appropriations released its FY27 bill, again working to eliminate Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), which it calls "duplicative." My friend/colleague @sundermannaj.bsky.social & I wrote on AHRQ's necessity. thehill.com/opinion/heal... appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
Straight from the horse's mouth: If Trump's proposed $5B cut to NIH were enacted in FY27, the number of new NIH research grants would drop **47%** To be clear, this is from a document justifying the request. It's what they *want*. They think this is good. officeofbudget.od.nih.gov/pdfs/FY27/br...
Roughly half of STEM PhD students in the U.S. are international students. 75% of them stay in the U.S. long term after graduating to contribute their skills to U.S. scientific research and development. Cutting international student visas hurts U.S. science now and long into the future.
David J. BierVisas for international students were down 40% last summer, thanks to a slew of policies designed to throttle visa issuances and scare off students. Students from 40 countries are now outright banned.
We're over half way through the Fed fiscal year. AHRQ FY26 appropriation: $345M Amount obligated to date: $0 New AHRQ funding curves up at Grant Witness: grant-witness.us/funding_curv... AHRQ supports work to lower healthcare costs and improve outcomes. This is what Trump is unlawfully gutting.
