This is cool for the U.S. but could be absolutely game-changing for developing countries. Funders can cut the cost of vaccines and kids only need to make trip to the clinic

U.S. government researchers present 'phenomenal' new data on HPV vaccines A new study seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent HPV infection is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer.

This is altogether terrific news, and highlights the contributions of the NIH to clinical practice. This kind of finding can save lives. It’s easier to launch a vaccination campaign when only one dose is needed. www.statnews.com/2025/04/28/h...

Some good-ish news from NIH

“Federal Register notices for study sections run by CSR (but not those by ICs) will start being permitted again”

As far as I know, the timing for this is not clear, but I will be checking the Federal Register.

NIH funding cuts could have ‘devastating impact’ on medical advancements, Chicago researchers say The National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump announced this month that it was cutting payments covering overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.

Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed.

And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Ok scientists & those who love science 🧪: here is another exhortation. Call Congress TODAY about the freeze on NIH Council Meetings and Study Sections. Emphasize that this means NO new grants are being funded & labs will soon start to shut down and fire employees. Phone numbers are at:
5calls.org

Lifting this freeze is crucial:

Federal Register hold makes ‘end run’ around court pause on NIH funding freeze NIH-related updates to the Federal Register, which are required for the scheduling of study sections and advisory councils, are on hold indefinitely, according to an email reviewed by <i>The Transmitt...

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter.

Trump administration to fire thousands at health agencies The Trump administration is set to eliminate thousands of federal health care jobs Friday, targeting employees across agencies who were hired in the past one to two years.

BREAKING: StatNews reports that more than 5,000 HHS employees across NIH, CDC and other public health and research agencies will be fired this afternoon. www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/f...

"Results of the first randomized controlled trial of single-dose HPV vaccine, published in Lancet Global Health in March 2024, showed greater than 97% efficacy against the HPV16 and HPV18 strains at 36 months among women in Kenya."

Imagine virtually ending cervical cancer.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked the Trump administration's rate change to NIH grants.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Congrats, Kavi!
