September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, an opportunity to highlight the second most common cancer in men - #prostatecancer. This month we want to remind men to: ✅ Learn about their risk factors ✅ Talk with their doctor ✅ #GetScreened #MensHealth

This will not only impact the many scientific discoveries by researchers at US institutions but the patients who will benefit from these funded studies.

The Trump admin just blocked $15 billion in NIH funding. A footnote from OMB Director bars NIH from awarding new/renewing grant for the rest of the fiscal year. The implications are beyond profound and will impact nearly every facet of the US biomedical research system

I cannot stress this enough: pairing a 4% funding line with the largest cut in NCI history will devastate the future of cancer research - and patients. We would be turning our backs on decades of progress.

Very proud of our @MorganStateU summer student Ms. Jordan McCoy on her brilliant symposium studying macrophages in prostate cancer!

Not just one of the best scenes in Black TV History, but American Television history. Thanks for the memories Malcolm Jamal-Warner. This is how I’ll remember you. 🤩

Grant terminations have grabbed the headlines and have seen legal action, but even more damaging to the US research enterprise has been the massive decrease in research grants issued by federal agencies NIH: -57% in the number of awards and -63% in value compared to FY24

My two NIH cancer research grants were terminated today. One involving breast cancer prevention is an “outstanding investigator award” and had received a perfect score by reviewers. How does ending lifesaving cancer research make Americans healthier? @harvardmed @aacr

BREAKING: A federal judge says the termination of NIH grants for research on diversity-related topics by President Trump's administration was “void and illegal,” and accused the government of discriminating against racial minorities and LGBT people. nbcnews.com/science/scienc…

From the dismissal of dedicated scientists to proposed funding cuts, the cancer research community faces unprecedented challenges. AACR is working to defend science, preserve NIH investments in cancer research, and advocate for all patients. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wTgRJ

By courageously sharing his prostate cancer diagnosis, @JayHarrisESPN is breaking the silence around men’s health. We applaud his strength and stand with him on his journey through treatment and recovery.

JUST IN: ESPN @SportsCenter anchor @JayHarrisESPN shares prostate cancer diagnosis: “I’m having surgery on Tuesday. I'll be away from SportsCenter for about a month to recover. Then I'm coming back better than ever.”

NIH cuts are threatening life-changing research for families affected by SYNGAP1, a rare disorder that impacts brain development. At Johns Hopkins, scientists are closing in on a treatment. Parents are hoping for a future with fewer seizures, fewer medications, and more answers.…

The NIH notified me yesterday that there is currently no policy that supports applying for a R00 that is associated with a terminated K99. So now, both the postdoc K99 (Harvard, $250k) and the R00 (non-Harvard institution TBD, $750) are BOTH effectively terminated.

Harvard notified me today that this K99 grant is terminated.
