Since coming to office, the Trump Administration has attempted to attack science and public research funding in countless ways, including by cancelling NIH grants and fellowships and blocking review of grant applications. Our union, UAW, is one of the plaintiffs in a case filed in federal court by the ACLU that is challenging these cancellations. If you have been impacted by NIH grant cancellations, please fill out this form by Monday, May 19.
It is crucial for workers to provide information to our attorneys to gather information from UAW members about the impact of NIH grant terminations (both termination of individual grants and termination of grant programs) or grant applications that were delayed without answer or administratively withdrawn by NIH.
This information collected will be used to argue for which grants should be reinstated in the event the case is successful, so please fill out as much information as possible using this form by Monday, May 19. The attorneys have filed a protective order in this case and personally identifying information will be confidential and not released publicly.
Lastly, don’t forget to sign up for our bargaining Town Hall on Wednesday 5/21 at 5pm, and our next in person bargaining session on June 2 at 1pm. Please reach out with any thoughts or questions!
In solidarity,
