The Trump administration has blocked the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) funding process by pausing the submission of study sections to the Federal Register, which is mandated by law. This halting of communications goes against a federal judge's temporary restraining order aimed at stopping funding freezes. The impact is significant, stalling essential medical research across the country and threatening the integrity of the NIH's peer review process. Experts have criticized these actions as undermining public transparency and violating legal orders concerning federal funding procedures.
The NIH must submit study sections to the Federal Register 15 days before meetings to ensure public transparency and access to advisory meetings.
Blocking the NIH's peer review process effectively halts critical medical research funding, which affects scientists nationwide working on diseases, drug development, and public health.
The Trump administration's actions in halting NIH submissions violate a federal judge's orders, creating legal ramifications and threatening the integrity of medical research funding.
The NIH has been instructed to indefinitely delay Federal Register submissions, which severely impacts the extramural research program relying on timely funding and oversight.
