“Your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution and we are going to wash it off.”
NIH top career people, take this attitude too. You do not need to implement illegal orders just because they are in an EO.
Stand up, NIH! If you don’t Trump will fire you eventually anyway.

For those with terminated NSF and NIH grants, there is a tracking system; here is the link to report your terminated grant(s); the intention is to advocate for the major loss to scientific research.

Three grants from my department at CSU were terminated today. We will definitely have a few staff laid off as a result. I am beyond angry.
The 3rd round of NSF grant cuts have begun. ~300 are expected to come from the EDU directorate alone.
Awards associated with the chem division have been spared so far, but several chem education researchers had their grants canceled.
Here's what we know so far: cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

Interested in what NIH grants have been cancelled to date? You can see award numbers, institutions and titles here. Not sure how often this list is being updated but seems to reflect only those that have received "official" notices from NIH (some of us haven't yet) taggs.hhs.gov/Content/Data...

Can someone out there please explain to me how terminating funding for research focused on promoting “health and healthcare among those living with disabilities” or identifying “risk and protective factors for family health and family-level interventions” is Making America Healthy Again?
76 notices of grant opportunities have been unpublished by the NIH. It’s likely all the grants funded under each of these mechanisms will be terminated. Look at what will be lost, eg:
Addressing the Impact of Structural Racism and Discrimination on Minority Health and Health Disparities
