During the initial 50 days of the Trump administration, major shifts were implemented in U.S. scientific agencies, such as the NIH, CDC, and FDA. Executive orders halted programs focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), environmental justice, and gender inclusivity, leading to significant research interruptions and layoffs within these organizations. Many of these changes have sparked concern about the future of scientific research and the integrity of public health initiatives in the U.S. NPR science correspondents analyze the implications of these rapid changes on scientific policy and practice.
In its first 50 days, the Trump administration made sweeping changes to scientific arms of the government, impacting programs across health and environmental sectors.
The president issued executive orders to terminate all work related to DEI, environmental justice, and gender inclusivity, causing research halts and mass firings.
