Update. "#NIH freezes funds to #Harvard and four other universities, but can’t tell them."

(#paywalled)

"After freezing all grants to #Columbia University last week, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is now stopping grant and contract payments to Harvard University and four other universities [#Brown, #Northwestern, #Cornell, #WeillCornell Medical School]…The move will both block new funding and halt payments to investigators currently working on NIH projects…The Department of Health and Human Services (#HHS)…instructed NIH staff not to provide any communication to these institutions or to Columbia about whether the funds are frozen or why, according to the email."

It was never about and never will be about "waste and fraud".

"The treatment approach is still early in its development; the personalized immunotherapy regimen shrank tumors in only about a quarter of the patients with colon, rectal and other GI cancers enrolled in a clinical trial.
...
Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff and by purchasing slowdowns."

Everybody give a little clap for Theresa Gaffney's brilliant headline in Morning Rounds today.

Today's edition is a can't-miss:

- the NIH is resisting tyranny using bumper stickers & printouts taped to bathroom stalls (complete with a picture)

- the CRISPR babies scientist is posting Mean Girls-inspired memes (that are, honestly, fire)

InsideMedicine Scoop:

Leaked PDF outlines major #HHS restructuring proposal (authenticity now confirmed). "The safety nets are being blown up right & left."

Floated cuts include some programs mandated by #Congress.

The plan for #NIH is in & it is catastrophic. Reduction to 8 centers. 40% cut in budget. 15% IDC cap. This will decimate #science across #America.

Nihilists, flat Earth kooks, and fascists can all unite behind the Orange Orangutan God.

"The scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal. About a fifth of the roughly 200 board members — who provide an independent, expert layer of review for the vast research enterprise within the NIH — were fired."

This pediatrician was studying familes facing #FoodInsecurity and #housing insecurity. #NIH just cancelled his grant, claiming “Research programs based primarily on artificial and non-scientific categories, including amorphous #equity objectives, are antithetical to the scientific inquiry."

"Thousands of grants, including many at public universities and on topics as politically benign as Alzheimer’s, have been caught in what critics say is an unprecedented slowdown of the American research system that is threatening to upend universities and halt progress toward medical innovations, treatments and cures."
