Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities
The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

Trump, Musk & RFK Jr. are waging war on U.S. biomedical research—slashing NIH funding, shutting down labs & stalling life-saving science. The cost? Decades of medical progress. Jeff Nesbit explains.
