Six Federal Scientists Run Out by Trump Talk About the Work Left Undone
Trump has installed the crackpot already leading #NIH as acting director of #CDC, likely in attempt to avoid Senate confirmation. Wired rounds up alarmed reactions, including a comment from me on behalf of @defendpublichealth.bsky.social https://www.wired.com/story/the-cdc-has-a-leadership-crisis/

NIH Grant Disruptions Slow Down Breast Cancer Research
At NIH, a power struggle over institute directorships deepens
The research agency has 27 institute and center directors. Will those roles become politicized?

Anstatt weiter Ressourcen zu verschwenden und neuste Rechner zu beschaffen um Windows 11 fähig zu sein sollte #Berlin lieber den radikalen Schritt wie Schleswig Holstein gehen. Gespartes Geldbuße Kapazitäten nutzen um mit großen Schritten in Richtung digitale Unabhängigkeit zu schreiten. Statt selber alles zu testen und herauszufinden einfach mal erfolgreiche Projekte wie das in Schleswig Holstein als Blueprint nehmen.
Oder leidet man in Berlin an dem klassischen #NIH Syndrom?

Die Verwaltung kämpft seit Jahren damit, ihre unter Windows laufenden Arbeitsplatzrechner auch nur auf einem aktuellen Stand zu halten.

Dear Senator -
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget for fiscal 2026 is mired in committee because the White House insists on changing the manner in which grants are delivered.
According to Politico, “the NIH is the largest funder of health research in the world.” In order to concurrently move forward the most promising, lifesaving and needed medical research, NIH delivers its funding each year of a project. For example, a four-year project costing $2 million would receive $500,000 (25%) of its funding the first year.
This historical process enables NIH to fund more grants than if it awarded the entire amount the first year. That latter plan is what the White House wants. The difference: fund four research proposals seeking $2 million each or pick only one to fund. Grants to four projects means more than one avenue has gotten a green light. These are highly competitive grants: in fiscal 2024, only one in five were funded.
Those of us burdened with chronic or acute disease – either ourselves, friends or family -- urge you to oppose the White House plan which would reduce the number of concurrent research projects.
Please preserve bipartisan support for the historical NIH funding process in the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies (Labor HHS) bill.

Appeals court agrees that Congress blocked cuts to research costs
The Trump admin can’t arbitrarily set university reimbursements to a low flat rate.

The Trump administration will review frozen grants to universities ✅without using its controversial standards that discouraged gender, race and sexual orientation initiatives and vaccine research.
In a settlement agreement filed in Massachusetts federal court Monday, the National Institutes of Health and a group of Democratic attorneys general who’d challenged the new criteria for #grant #funding said the #NIH would consider grant applications made up to Sept. 29, 2025, 👍without judging the efforts related to diversity, equity and inclusion, or #DEI, or #vaccines.
The settlement provides an uncontested path for the agency while courts decide whether the administration can use its controversial analysis.
❌The administration did not agree to permanently ditch its campaign to evaluate health research funding decisions based on schools’ DEI programs.
⭐️NIH officials “will complete their consideration of the Applications in the ordinary course of NIH’s scientific review process, without applying the Challenged Directives,” the settlement said, adding that the agency would “evaluate each application individually and in good faith.”
The settlement was signed by U.S. Department of Justice lawyers and the attorneys general of Massachusetts, California, Maryland, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
The #Trump admin is expected to announce several moves Thursday that will have the effect of essentially banning #GenderAffirmingCare for #transgender young people nationwide, even in #states where it is legal.
“Health” Secy #RFKJr will be announcing the measures in a press conference scheduled for 11AM at #HHS HQ. #DrOz, who leads the Centers for #Medicare & #Medicaid, Dr. Marty Makary, of the #FDA, & Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, of the #NIH, will all be at the presser.

"A former leading scientist at the National Institutes of Health (#NIH) sued the #TrumpAdministration Tuesday, saying she was illegally fired for warning that abrupt #research cuts were endangering patients and public health." https://www.medpagetoday.com/washington-watch/washington-watch/119059
The #US Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of #Science & #Medicine
A quiet policy change means the #government is making fewer bets on long-term science.
In the past decade, the #NIH awarded top scientists $9 billion in competitive #grants each year, to find #cures for #diseases & improve #PublicHealth.
This year, something unusual happened…
Starting in January, the #Trump admin stalled that #funding. By summer, funding lagged by >$2 billion, or 41% below average.
Effective Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, the NIH Clinical Center will resume masking in all patient care areas.From https://www.cc.nih.gov/patient-services/masking-policy , the US National Institutes of Health.This means wearing a mask will be REQUIRED in all patient care areas, including waiting rooms. This change is due to an anticipated increase in COVID-19 and other respiratory virus activity in the community.
For patients who will be admitted to the inpatient unit (and their rooming in visitors), please note that testing for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) will also be in effect. For rooming in visitors, testing for SARS-CoV-2 will be in effect.
Wear a damn mask even if you're not at the NIH. You know you should.
