Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Ah yes. Let's stop research on perhaps the most brutal disease in existence, the one without any really good treatments.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

A more comprehensive list of terminated NIH grants that doesn't rely only on those reported on HHS TAGGS but also from affected PIs and other sources. Thank you @scott-delaney.bsky.social and team! #lostscience

NIH terminations go beyond the list posted on taggs.hhs.gov (which is the source my recently posted google sheet is based on). Folks at Harvard @scott-delaney.bsky.social @britshmit.bsky.social are leading the charge to gather this info - please contribute if you have been affected! #lostscience

🚨I converted the list of terminated #NIH grants (as of 3/22) into a google sheet. I added activity codes and award jurisdictions (see tabs for grant count and $ by each). Note this HHS list likely does not include all planned/completed terminations as of this date.🚨 Please use, share and distribute!

The list of terminated NIH grants is growing. Now 14 pages (was 6 pages last week).

With support from federal funding, @hsph.harvard.edu faculty have conducted groundbreaking research that has led directly to treatments, policies, and programs that have saved lives by the millions, in the US and around the world. Here are just three examples: hsph.harvard.edu/news/federal...

It’s been a rough couple weeks here at Columbia. An inspiring talk from @cervantes-lily1.bsky.social was exactly the medicine we needed to remind us all why we do what we do and the impact that research can have on people’s lives #healthpolicy

"The attack on Columbia is a radical threat to scholarly excellence and to America’s leadership in research. Universities and their leaders should speak up and litigate forcefully to protect their rights."

With the Agency for Healthcare [sic] Research and Quality on the chopping block, I thought it might be useful to highlight a few ways in my own research on efficiency and access in the U.S. health care system has benefited from AHRQ data, collaboration and funding.

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Our university’s NIH CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Award) was just cancelled for having some keywords that just mean it will serve ALL people in Utah. This funds research that moves discovery science into clinical therapies. This is literally the mandate of the NIH! 😰 🧪

AHRQ funds my career development grant. As an early career faculty member, this grant is my only current source of funding. Without it, I don’t know if I’ll be able to continue doing research, or keep my current job.

FWIW, the government's disproportionate attack on this kind of research and training of young scientists motivated us to write this letter, which again is NOT an official university statement, just how we 5 professors at Columbia imagine we would respond. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/guest-post...

Despite the significant challenges facing AHRQ and evidence-based research, patients, providers, universities, and more all agree that funding AHRQ is critical for advancing high-value care and improving health care for vulnerable populations. Read more: academyhealth.org/blog/2025-03...

Interested in what NIH grants have been cancelled to date? You can see award numbers, institutions and titles here. Not sure how often this list is being updated but seems to reflect only those that have received "official" notices from NIH (some of us haven't yet) taggs.hhs.gov/Content/Data...

The ~$400m in federal funding cuts at Columbia are nearly all research grants at the medical campus supporting important studies to improve the health of Americans and people around the world. This is just one of over 200. Thanks @statnews.com for telling the stories of the research we will lose.

Add R25s to that list. Our NIH funding got straight up cancelled today for the two R25s that my team runs at Columbia for post-bacs and high-school students. I fear for our young scholars, who love learning about the brain and now are losing opportunities to be tomorrow's neuroscientists. 🧪

Unfortunately, my NIH grant (Columbia P50 center grant subcontract) was one of the awards terminated. A stop work order has been issued. We’re 8 months into the project— a community engaged study to ⬆️ 🫁 ca & CVD screening in nyc. I know many others affected as well. Hoping for reversal/resolution 😕

The NIH "terminations" included the Maternal Health Center for Excellence at Columbia, one of 10 new collaborative research centers founded as part of a NIH initiative to accelerate research to solve the US maternal health crisis. www.obgyn.columbia.edu/news/columbi...

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.

The CDC pause access to data & data collection for a uniquely vital survey on maternal & infant health — they say it will be back up soon But, that has not entirely alleviated concerns from researchers 🧪🔬🩺 #medsky www.statnews.com/2025/03/03/c...

I have confirmation from my (HI) State DOH that PRAMS is paused as of last Thurs. All new data collected after Jan 31 are rejected. Which epis in other states, esp those without large MCH research presence, are interested in standing up alternatives? Also an opportunity to educate on data! 📩 me!

For 38 years, PRAMS has collected critical data on maternal-child health with the goal to reduce infant morbidity and mortality. CDC has officially halted the 2024 PRAMS data collection for the participating 46 states and the future is uncertain.
