There's some weird gaslighting going on about this...willfully ignoring the clear intent, to make NIH funding decisions more opaque and allowing more political oversight. Naïve to think otherwise. I don't know anyone who thinks this is actually better or solves a real issue.
NIH proposes a major overhaul of grant proposal evaluation:
Replacing the numerical peer review scores with 3 categories:
-- "Most competitive" (based on the top 25% of final overall impact scores),
-- "Competitive" (based on the 26-50% of final overall impact scores), or
-- "Not discussed" (scores >50%, or ND)

Are you a #PhD or #postdoc planning to go on the faculty job market this Fall?
I wrote this post back in 2021 but continue to update it with useful data and insights.
Postdocs should also join @FuturePI_Slack for peer support & more resources.

It took 93 years to admit PCOS isn't just cysts, it’s a full metabolic failure.
We’ve been gaslit, handed birth control pills, and told to "just lose weight" while fighting chronic insulin resistance from the inside.
Women’s health is still treated as an afterthought. We deserve better.
