Welp.
I said I was curious to see what ADA was going to say & they have spoken
As far as I can tell, the screenshot below is the entirety of their press release
I’m sure this was crafted by a whole team of folks trying to do damage control
I don’t feel better

NIH is proposing a cap on the number of research project grants per principle investigator. This is in addition to the 6 apps per calendar year cap imposed by NOT-OD-25-132.

Sadly, you have now written yourselves into the history books, in a way that brings shame on ADA and yourselves.
I know this is hard to hear and the fallout from what happened in New Orleans will have ramification for months to come for the ADA. 7/
