NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.
NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

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.

Feeling a lot like I did in early days of the pandemic these days. It is so clear what’s coming: The people that will die because of cuts in global health, because of cuts to research, because of the concerted anti-vaccine push.
It’s clear what’s coming, but we will have to wait to count the dead.🧪

The Canadian equivalent of the NIH should consider funding a bunch of studies monitoring what happens with vaccine-preventable diseases in Canada and the US over the next decade. Because a real-world laboratory is being created.

We developed this portal for terminated NIH grants on global health with the hope that donors will search for those of interest to them. Please share this with people affected and let me know if you have input on the format or on how best to disseminate it.

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

The amazing group of faculty that I lead on our research core lost six NIH grants today, all in global health. Thousands of hours of work lost as well as funding for our foreign collaborators in LMICs.

NIH continues to suspend funding to these schools — without telling them.
Researchers have been submitting for renewals, which are approved by NIH program staff. But notices of award never go out.
Columbia has internally been calling these awards "effectively cancelled", per email I've obtained.

Under pressure from the Trump administration, the National Science Foundation (NSF), a $9 billion agency funding scientific research that has made America great, has canceled over a thousand grants and slowed new funding. That's just the beginning and will get way worse unless Congress intervenes.
