NIH employees protested the Trump administration's cuts, claiming that they threaten vital research and endanger public health. In a June 9 letter to NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, workers expressed deep concern that political motives have overshadowed the agency's mission. Actions such as terminating research grants, firing staff, and cutting international funding were condemned as damaging to health advancements. Some NIH workers risked backlash by signing the letter openly, showing the urgent need to address the administration's impact on scientific progress and public welfare.
For staff across the National Institutes of Health (NIH), we dissent to Administration policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe.
It's about the harm that these policies are having on research participants and American public health, and global public health. There are research participants who generously decide to donate their time and literal pieces of their body.
