DOGE
Billions to be slashed from NIH
contracts. National Institutes of Health leaders must figure out how to cut $2.6 billion in contracts from the biomedical research agency's budget by April 8, according to several sources.
Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Andrew Nixon told STAT that the 35% reduction in NIH contracts is part of a strategic cost-savings initiative across all divisions of HHS. It's worrisome news for an already-troubled agency. After Tuesday's cuts, the NIH is down 1,200 employees, including the directors of five institutes and the heads of several labs, and has had key grantmaking, research training, and science communication functions severely limited since Trump's return to the White House.

To understand the unique needs met by the agency's contractors, including long-term freezer storage of biospecimens and genetic counseling for clinical research volunteers, read the story from STAT's Megan Molteni (and stay for the kicker quote).

You used to call me on my cell phone
Lifesaving hotlines that have fielded millions of calls from people like new mothers and smokers for support are in limbo after federal officials fired the workers who oversaw them.
The hotlines include the Maternal Mental Health Hotline, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the National Quit Line for smokers. Free and available 24/7, they are readily accessible tools in a landscape where mental health and substance use treatment is often costly and difficult to come by.
It's unclear whether another prominent hotline for mental health support, 988, will also be affected. The program is run through

The program is run through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in partnership with states, but the agency will soon be folded into a new agency along with HRSA and others.
Though many hotline-related SAMHSA employees were spared in Tuesday's firings, they are still stressed. Leaders of 988 also stepped down or retired in recent weeks, leaving openings for people favored by HHS chief Robert Kennedy and his allies. The mood

Though many hotline-related SAMHSA employees were spared in Tuesday's firings, they are still stressed. Leaders of 988 also stepped down or retired in recent weeks, leaving openings for people favored by HHS chief Robert Kennedy and his allies. The mood was perhaps best put by an employee fired on Tuesday, who told me, "It's surreal when the argument 'people will die' means nothing."
