Senate panel votes 26–3 to boost NIH funding to $48.7B for FY2026: • +$150M cancer • +$100M Alzheimer’s • +$25M ALS • +$30M NIAID • +$30M Women’s Health Bipartisan support for science holds strong! politico.com/newsletters/fu…
Most grant writing advice won’t get you NIH funding. Study sections value different things, and templates make proposals sound alike. At Lumos, every editor is NIH-funded, most with active study section experience, helping you write the way reviewers think. #NIHGrants
Strong science is not always enough to get funded. If reviewers cannot quickly see why it matters, how it is different, and how it will work, even good proposals get overlooked. Lumos helps researchers improve structure and clarity so their ideas land. #NIHgrants #GrantWriting
5 NIH reviewer comments that quietly kill your grant: 1. Aims lack innovation 2. Significance is weak 3. Approach lacks detail 4. Investigator lacks expertise 5. Project is overambitious You can avoid all 5 with clearer framing. Writing matters!
Some researchers write grants on a strict schedule. Others work in bursts when time allows. What seems to work best? A mix of structure for key sections and flexibility for idea development. At Lumos, we help researchers find that balance. #NIHgrants #GrantWriting
Not every rejected NIH grant needs a full rewrite. When scores are near payline and critiques are specific, focused revisions can be more effective than starting over. At Lumos, we help researchers decide what to revise and how. #NIHgrants #GrantWriting
Still formatting NIH biosketches by hand? Try SciENcv. Free from NCBI, it links to PubMed, updates with NIH rules, and exports to Word/PDF. Saves time, reduces errors, and keeps you compliant. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sciencv/ #NIHgrants #GrantWriting #SciENcv
NIH success rates in 2023 ranged from 8.3% to 31.5% depending on the institute. Your research scope may limit options, but understanding these trends can still shape your aims, timing, and strategy. report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/ca… Plan smart for 2025.
If you’re planning an NIH R01, this Nature article is one of the most practical guides out there. It breaks the process into 32 concrete steps, from idea to submission. Worth a read in today’s funding climate. nature.com/articles/s4139… #NIHgrants #GrantWriting #AcademicTwitter
More than 50% of scientists report impostor syndrome. In a @Nature survey, nearly half felt overwhelmed by job demands. At Lumos, we help researchers reduce grant-writing stress with structure and support. nature.com/articles/d4158…

How burnout and imposter syndrome blight scientific careers
Nature - Most scientists love what they do, but job satisfaction levels hit a new low, Nature’s survey finds.
After reviewing 100+ NIH Summary Statements, we found reviewers often judged “focus” and “feasibility” based on how proposals were written, not just what they proposed. Specifics, clean layout, and anticipating concerns made a measurable difference. #NIHgrants
