The Trump administration's efforts to halt federal funding, particularly at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have seen a temporary blockade due to court interventions. However, the administration has sidestepped these orders by forbidding public notifications of NIH grant review meetings. This effectively cancels many scheduled meetings and stalls thousands of grant applications, jeopardizing crucial research funding. Significant topics impacted include Alzheimer's, brain injuries, and children's health, leading researchers to express their deep concerns regarding the potential loss of financial support for essential biomedical investigations.
Without public notices being posted in the Federal Register by the NIH, about 16,000 grant applications asking for $1.5 billion in research funding have already been stalled.
The Trump administration has issued an order "forbidding health officials from giving public notice of upcoming grant review meetings," blocking "an obscure but necessary cog in the grant-making machinery."
