News of the first NIH grant cuts at Columbia medical center have come in. Center grants (including of the diabetes center where I am), training grants for PhD students. PhD students are certainly not the reason for federal budget woes, they are among the most altruistically motivated people, often postponing their own personal dreams in favor of advancing human health. What an utter disappointment.
