Any now it's gone. wtf. #clinicaltrials
While the recent draft guidance for diversity plans in clinical trials has been taken offline, at least previous guidance still appears to be in tact.

Per an NIH source:

“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

I run clinical trial sites but it's all pharma sponsored stuff. If you're running NIH trials, you're just fucked then?
