Impoundment of funds endangers US investment in science and medical research
"By the start of August, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had awarded billions of dollars less in research grants this fiscal year than in previous ones (see go.nature.com/46as8rp). The impoundment of funds that the US Congress designated for support of science and medical research endangers US investments in people, projects and health advances. doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-025-03003-wCompeting Interests The authors declare no competing interests."

By the start of August, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had awarded billions of dollars less in research grants this fiscal year than in previous ones. The reduction in awarded grants reflects an impoundment of funds that the US Congress had designated to support science and medical research. The impoundment endangers US investments in researchers, research projects and health advances by withholding resources intended for grant awards. The record notes the DOI https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-025-03003-w. The authors declare no competing interests.
