NEW: My latest story is about a surprising turn of events. A handful of scientists had NIH grants terminated by the Trump administration earlier this year — and now those grants are getting *reinstated*.
Yes, you read that right.

These NIH Grants Were Terminated. Now They’re Back.
A handful of scientists whose funding was canceled by the Trump administration are now seeing those decisions reversed — and it’s not always clear why.

When the NIH cut funding for my research on food and housing insecurity, they sent a letter stating my work was “antithetical to the scientific inquiry”
They couldn’t be more wrong. I explain why in @statnews.com

The NIH called my health equity research ‘antithetical to scientific inquiry’
The NIH canceled Logan Beyer’s health equity research, saying it was “antithetical to scientific research.” That’s completely wrong, she writes.
