- It was an obvious strategy that started months ago. The NIH could pay out the entirety of a new award upfront to use the money, but I don't see any signs of this happening.
- Amplifying this. NIH money not used by end of summer is gone. I've had a new R01 pending for months now, the award is prepared (according to ERA commons), what steps are left before the NOGA and funds released? Feel like many grants are being slow rolled before they are then not funded.
