NIH killed grants on orders from Elon Musk’s DOGE Court documents and internal correspondence show the cost-cutting force has broad control over the world’s largest public biomedical funder.

Who's calling the shots at NIH?

Sworn testimonies and internal e-mails reveal for the first time the breadth of DOGE's control over the world's largest public biomedical funder.

DOGE has provided lists of hundreds of grants to cut, and DOGE is now reviewing ALL NIH awards before they're released

Our spectacular @wcm-imp.bsky.social 1st year Immunology grad students Kasra Askari, Andrew Lim, Isabelle Johnson and Riley Outen wrapped up their 3rd rotation :) Awesome talks!

We had our little moment today having received 3%-ile (!!) on our #NIH #NIDDK grant application. Let's hope there is actually some $$ because we sure need it! :-)

REPRESENT at yesterday's massive #HANDSOFF march in #NYC

After ‘coding error’ triggers firings, top NIH scientists called back to work Neuroscience institutes tells 10 scientists placed on leave it’s working on a “long-term” solution to officially reinstating them

Ten principal investigators who were fired from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke as part of the massive reduction in force at federal agencies on Tuesday are back at work, at least for now, Science has learned.

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

This doesn't look good, folks

Trump officials will screen NIH funding opportunities Staff at biomedical agency worry about political interference in setting priorities

Science is being actively destroyed, and it feels like no one cares. www.science.org/content/arti...

Just want to say again I’m grateful for the people doing their best to hold it down at the NIH despite the chaos and uncertainty. I see you 🙌🏾

It's quite an honor!! We should celebrate! #AAAS @hspecialsurgery.bsky.social

Trump officials will screen NIH funding opportunities Staff at biomedical agency worry about political interference in setting priorities

A "chilling" new level of political interference: NIH's solicitations for grant proposals will from now on be reviewed to check if they align with Trump's priorities.

The Chaos of NIH Cuts Has Left Early-Career Scientists Scrambling As graduate programs lose spots and labs face shutdowns following Trump administration cuts to science funding, the path to a science career for students and researchers just got a whole lot harder.

This is what breaks my heart. These young people who are so eager and full of promise and who are the next generation of Nobel Prize winners, scientists inventors, teachers. #Trump and #Musk have destroyed it all. www.wired.com/story/the-ch...

Trump order could wipe out federal support for U.S. science museums Institute of Museum and Library Services now run by Department of Labor as part of proposed dismantling

IMLS, the primary source of federal support for U.S. libraries and museums, is one of seven independent agencies that President Donald Trump wants to dismantle because he believes what they do is “unnecessary.” scim.ag/4iryNlY

Women are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease as men. A feature in Nature Medicine reports how the changes to the female brain during menopause, along with social and cultural factors, might affect disease risk. #medsky #alzsky 🧪

Huge congratulations to Ketsia Seide, our #postbac fellow, who is heading to Graduate School at #SUNYBuffalo this summer! We will miss you but we are so proud of you!!!

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.

This disinformation will literally kill children. So is the new HHS secretary too incompetent to limit preventable child deaths, or immoral enough not to care?

NIH to ax grants on vaccine hesitancy, mRNA vaccines Move reflects vaccine skepticism of health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

NIH is abruptly terminating at least 33 research grants for projects studying why some people are hesitant to receive vaccines or evaluating strategies that could encourage vaccine uptake. scim.ag/4how23i

Universities are facing big cuts to research funding. At Duke, it's a time for 'damage control' Facing the potential loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding, Duke University is preparing for the worst.

‘Scientists will not be silenced’: thousands protest Trump research cuts Researchers at Stand Up for Science rallies voice defiance against the policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard.
