  • NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women

    1 day ago | science.org | Jocelyn Kaiser |Sara Reardon |Meredith Wadman

    In what may foreshadow billions in further research funding cuts, President Donald Trump’s administration appears to be killing much, if not all, of a historic initiative that was the first, and is still the largest, National Institutes of Health (NIH) effort centered on the health needs of women.

    2 weeks ago | science.org | Sara Reardon

    Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice, according to internal documents seen by Science.

    3 weeks ago | science.org | Sara Reardon

    A new lawsuit seeks to challenge the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) decisions to abruptly terminate hundreds of grants, totaling more than $2.4 billion, over the past month.

  • Are terminations of NIH grants wasting billions of taxpayer dollars?

    3 weeks ago | science.org | Sara Reardon

    Since 2022, sexual health researcher Jeremy Goldbach has spent about $2 million of the U.S. government’s money studying whether a peer-mentoring program could alleviate anxiety and depression among transgender and gender-minority teenagers. The 3-year project, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), had recruited some 200 students from 20 schools in the Los Angeles area and was scheduled to wrap up in September. But all that effort—and money—might now be for naught.

  • “Orchestrated assault”: New tsunami of NIH grant cuts hits South Africa hard

    1 month ago | science.org | Sara Reardon |Jon Cohen

    The threat hanging over South African HIV/AIDS researchers for the past week has become a reality: The Trump administration this afternoon began terminating or putting on hold their grants from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). The cuts appear in part linked to an escalation of NIH efforts to terminate grants, at least some of which the government has decided have components of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Only 40 out of 1736 people in the #donanemab clinical trial were Black. Only 2 were Native. The lack of diversity in #Alzheimers trials has raised concerns about safety and efficacy, but the reason may not be what you think. My story @Nature https://t.co/LENFPTmdGE
