Massive, Unarchivable #Datasets of #Cancer, #Covid, #HIV and #Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before RFK announced 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review." Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency.

The #Senate Cmte on #Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions invited #RFKJr to attend a hearing next week to explain the firings. The committee is chaired by Republican U.S. Senator & physician #BillCassidy of Louisiana, whose vote was key to Kennedy's confirmation.

#Trump layoffs begin to erode #FDA drug review system
The Trump admin's #MassFirings at the FDA have removed employees critical to reviewing new #medicines, setting back years of effort to bring promising #treatments to #patients more quickly.
The FDA is slated to lose 3,500 employees under Secy of #HHS #RFKJr's massive *restructuring* of US #health agencies….

No plan—not his *MAHA* agenda, not efficiency, nothing—can realistically explain cuts like these. Instead, the #MassFirings don’t seem to be a means to an end on the way to overhauling American #health. They are an end in themselves.
It’ll take months, if not years, to fully appreciate the effect that the cuts will have on America’s scientific enterprise.

Update. "Scientists sue #NIH, saying politics cut their research funding"

"A group of scientists and health groups sued the NIH on Wednesday, arguing that an “ideological purge” of research funding is illegal and threatens medical cures…The suit was filed by the American Public Health Association [#APHA], unions representing scientists and some researchers who were stripped of grants."
A similar suit has been filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU), the Center for Science in the Public Interest (#CSPI), and the Protect Democracy Project (#PDP).

Update. #DOGE will review #NIH grant opportunities "to ensure the research that will be funded aligns with the priorities of President Donald Trump’s administration."

PS: Note that this is about content, politics, or ideology, not waste, fraud, or abuse.
"One NIH employee familiar with the matter worries that Trump officials reviewing the NOFOs [Notices of Funding Opportunities] “may not have the scientific background to understand why funding for research on certain topics is important.” Moreover, they added, “Having these decisions made by DOGE after months have been spent writing the NOFOs drafts and getting buy-in from [NIH’s institutes and centers] and offices is a huge waste of staff time and resources.”
"A group of scientists and health groups sued the National Institutes of Health on Wednesday, arguing that an 'ideological purge' of research funding is illegal and threatens medical cures...The suit aims to restore the money and end the terminations, arguing they violate NIH’s usual science-based review process, specific orders from Congress to tackle health equity and disparities, and federal regulations."

These are some #NIH grants that have been canceled. Pediatric research? #Alzheimer's? #Covid? Pregnancy & assault? If anyone thinks they aren't affected by #RFK's idiocy, they are living in Lala land.
In this link, researchers describe the work, its benefits, & the impact of its termination. Read it & weep & then write, call, vote, protest -- but don't back down! If anyone thinks it's happening to "them" & not you, think again.

"Teams that fulfilled requests for government documents lost their jobs on Tuesday as part of the Trump administration's 10,000-person staff cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services. Their work, mandated by Congress since the 1960s under the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, gives the public a view of the inner workings of federal health agencies."

The Trump administration is requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to cut spending on contracts by 35%, HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon confirmed to NPR.
The spending cut is across all divisions of HHS – which includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and other agencies.

@randahl Yes, #DonaldTheDeplorable is firing thousands of doctors at #HHS and biomedical engineers at #NIH. Doctors care very good at stiching, and engineers can speed-up production of our new #BrownShirts.
#Trump is a #StableGenius alright, but he’s making his puppet master #Putin very happy!

#Masslayoffs hit workers at #HHS ; sweeping cuts extend to #CDC , #NIH , FDA: Recap

A close ally of the new #NIH director — and a co-founder, with him, of a new scientific journal — recently published a piece therein laying out a path for reforming the world's largest scientific institute. People are now perusing it looking for clues. https://www.statnews.com/2025/04/03/after-trump-nih-cuts-what-comes-next-for-agency-new-paper-may-provide-clues/
#NIH: world’s largest public financier of MED research. Key reason: American preeminence at innovation
*IN
JEOPARDY.
“Fueled breakthroughs: discovering the DNA code for each amino acid to the hepatitis C virus. Dismantling it will undercut our position as the world’s leader in science.”
“American s will suffer -diseases: not cured & treatments: not found.”
Cuts could end up unraveling the reforms -implemented to help speed up the drug-approval process.
