Trump's recent budget proposals indicate a strategic shift as his administration embraces the objectives of Project 2025, a right-wing governance framework. This includes significant cuts to the NIH, which alarm experts who fear it will harm biomedical research. Despite his earlier denials about his connection to the document, the alignment with its conservative principles reveals a substantial backing from supporters and contributors active in his first term. Legal challenges against these budget cuts have been initiated by numerous medical institutions and states, reflecting widespread opposition to the move.
"The rapid-fire adoption of many of Project 2025's objectives indicates that Trump supporters...have quietly laid the groundwork to disrupt the national health system."
"The NIH monopoly on directing research should be broken...to help reduce federal taxpayer subsidisation of leftist agendas."
