The National Institutes of American Health (NIH) expanded the discounts in financing science, and ended a growing list of research projects that they now include Hundreds of grants Financing studies on a wide range of topics – from HIV in children to reduce mold exposure and its effect on asthma. Anxiety grows among scientists that research that achieves the seedled Rana vaccines may be the next.
Exclusive: National Institutes of Health to end hundreds of active research grants
nature I learned that the agency has already ended At least one grant This was supported by a scientist at the University of Colombia in New York City, who was investigating the immune body in the response of a flexible vaccine against Kofid 19.
Fears of the abolition of the Marna Al -Muqtaq grant come after members of the National Health Institutes were sent to collect a list of grants to study technology, according to an email sent on March 6. nature It happened. “Requesting information on the investment of the National Institutes of Health in the research of the Rana Mercy Voyage”-including the current and planned grants, “said the Acting Director of the National Institutes of Health Matthew Mimoli. By the time when the deadline came, a spreadsheet was collected with more than 130 posts, according to an official at the National Institutes of Health, who asked not to be identified because they were not allowed to speak to the press.
Justin Riccher, viral immunologist at the University of Illinois Medical College at Chicago says, although grants on Marna-Fandosh’s research have not yet been completed collectively as they were in other topics-including LGBT+ Health- This is a fateful sign.
RFK JR vaccine is now a strong power in the United States Science: What will he do?
The workers of the National Institutes of Health feel enough anxiety because they have begun to advise the applicants not to mention the seedling Rana vaccines in their search proposals, According to KFF Health News reportsPorter of Health Care and Politics Port in Washington, DC. Sources that spoke with nature She indicated that this was not an official directive from the leadership of the National Institutes of Health, but a recommendation from the individual program employees.
“Take a tool to fight infectious diseases that have been proven effective – it is difficult to understand to do so as a society,” says Ricner, who designs a flexible vaccine against dengue virus.
National Information Institutes, the largest financier in the world for biomedical research, did not respond to natureInquiries about whether MRNA-Vaccine’s research or scientists’ concerns about political intervention in scientific research will be completed.
Shift
The panic comes to grant the Mersal Rana in the hot messenger Rana following the agency’s termination of more than 40 scholarships to study the vaccine frequency. Similar to the invitation to obtain a list of Rana Marna projects, the agency requested a spreadsheet containing all active projects on the vaccine frequency. The workers of the National Health Institutes have been informed that some grants should be canceled by the end of the day in an email March 10 nature It happened. “The policy of the national health institutes is not to give priority for research activities that focus [sic] And the end messages said:
Will it make the RFK JR JR Agenda infectiously?
Robert F. was chosen. Kennedy Junior, a long -standing lawyer for accuracy, by US President Donald Trump as the country’s minister of health, is now running the parenting agency at the National Health Institutes.

Frank vaccines have risen to fame during the Covid-19s, not only for their safety and effectiveness in preventing severe diseases, but also for the speed developed and published-most of them during the first Trump administration. Jabs includes genetic instructions that tell the person’s cells to create copies of viral proteins, also known as antigens. This process stimulates the body to generate protective antibodies and immune immune cells.
Modeling studies indicate that, around the world, more than 14 million people have saved more than 14 million people in the first year in which they are managed1During the Covid-19s. Researchers are now testing technology against a set of conditions, including diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and cancer, with more than 100 continuous experiments. After some American officials, Including the general Florida surgeonHe called for a stop of technology and made baseless allegations that the controls cause cancer, not safe.
“I did not think in my life that the government would turn against the field of research for unscientific reasons,” said Drew Weissman, immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, who participated in the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or the basic medicine needed to create flexible spaces. “I mostly feel confused, because the probability of RNA is very huge.”
