The panic you're seeing on social media about this reflects how critical NIH funding is for most scientific research in the US, and relatedly the funding of universities, healthcare systems, and research organizations. Health spending constitutes 18% of GDP. NIH funding is deeply enmeshed in it.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
