One of my responsibilities is producing a quarterly congressional report on clinical trial funding. We may not put together a q2 (or beyond?!) report because of all this.
For what it’s worth though, the rate of grant awards is ~the same but just temporally offset by about two weeks (from when they literally halted all of it). But I suspect the current growth will soon come to a halt too. Every single US academic institution I know has a hiring freeze right now, so it’s pretty much a shitshow.
