How are US universities spending billions from spiraling federal student loans and research grants, amid claims that up to 70% of grant money covers overhead instead of science? #UniversityFunding #FederalFunding #StudentDebt #ResearchGrants #OverheadCosts
Hot off the press - our report on gender disparities in grant seeking at the University of Cambridge (who applies for and who gets research grant funding).
The story:
1) The structural disparities are big (not so surprising)
2) The patterns of disparity at particular grades in particular disciplines go both ways (more surprising)

Ah, the riveting world of "circuit tracing" in language models 🤖🔍, because what we really needed was another way to complicate things we barely understand. A "replacement model" that makes things "interpretable"? 😂 More like a desperate attempt to justify endless AI research grants.

Maryland AG calls Trump administration’s defunding of research grants ‘draconian’
Do I know anyone who has recently (past few years) secured a New Investigator #BBSRC Research grant? We are writing one and could really do with an example of what works..
If you do and would be willing to share all or part of the application material the #NeuroESC lab would be eternally grateful 🙏
Edit: this is what we're applying to: https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/bbsrc-new-investigator-award-2025-round-one-responsive-mode/
Edit 2: Thanks to you all we've already got 3 example applications! You are all awesome 🤗 This will already help a lot, the last thing we would need is one from the most recent call (Jan 2024?) and as a "New Investigator", especially if you are also willing to share the reviewers' comments which are really useful to see what people look for in these applications - DM me if so 🙏
(It's our first one... lots to learn but not so many opportunities for learning!)

Gender Based Analysis Plus in NSERC Programs: Summary Report 2024
"all analyses considered at least four equity-deserving and rights-holding groups: women, visible minorities, Indigenous Peoples, and persons with disabilities. ... Note that...data on gender diverse groups (gender-fluid, non-binary, & Two-Spirit) were too limited to draw meaningful conclusions from statistical analyses and data on members of LGBTQI+ communities were unavailable." https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/Reports-Rapports/GBA_Plus-ACS_Plus/2024/index_eng.asp

For anyone following along @sfmatheson found the paper. It was in Science in 2016
(something I thought was longer ago, turns out to be more recent, which is unusual).

Hey Mastodon #SciencePolicy folks - I remember a paper that tried to estimate 'intrinsic scientific talent' (Q-factor?) looking over researchers’ careers, from at least 10 years ago. I think it looked at when in a researchers career they tended to do their most cited work. I remember the maths being beyond me. My search engine skills are failing me - can anyone remember the paper?

I really liked the advices that some researchers give in this article.
For those of us who want to apply to some grants, it is worthwile to read this tipes.

People who write #ResearchGrants: do you write about
1) projects that you’ve already almost completed (hiding the fact that they’re almost completed, so that you can use the funding for completely new projects), or
2) new projects that you haven’t really started yet (for which you might just have some preliminary data)?
Do you think 1) is unethical? Do you think 1) is necessary? Do you think 1) has the highest chances of funding? Please comment :)

A clarification: some of the Swedish research budget comes from the foreign aid budget. It finances things such as sustainability in low income countries and poverty reduction, as well as tropical diseases and such. The decision for this came out of nowhere and several Swedish ongoing research projects are now threatened. Over 250 applications for funding has now been scrapped. #swepol #researchgrants #rightwingrule
So it starts: Sweden’s right wing ruling cabal cuts funding to university research projects regarding for example malaria and sexual violence in Uganda. The reason that foreign aid minister Johan Forssell gave: we need the money for helping Ukraine… Such fucking hogwash. I can see the fascist support party Sweden Democrats pulling the strings. Shame on you all fifth column, Quisling, sacks of shit. #swepol #researchgrants #sweden #politicallybiasedresearch
