These NIH Grants Were Terminated. Now They’re Back. A handful of scientists whose funding was canceled by the Trump administration are now seeing those decisions reversed — and it’s not always clear why.

NEW: My latest story is about a surprising turn of events. A handful of scientists had NIH grants terminated by the Trump administration earlier this year — and now those grants are getting *reinstated*.

Yes, you read that right.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

The NIH called my health equity research ‘antithetical to scientific inquiry’ The NIH canceled Logan Beyer’s health equity research, saying it was “antithetical to scientific research.” That’s completely wrong, she writes.

When the NIH cut funding for my research on food and housing insecurity, they sent a letter stating my work was “antithetical to the scientific inquiry”

They couldn’t be more wrong. I explain why in @statnews.com

Exclusive: NIH nixes funds for pre- and postdoctoral training programs Many of the axed grants support scientists from underrepresented communities.

www.thetransmitter.org/funding/excl... Our Bridges to the Doctorate program was cut along with many others. Heartbreaking to tell talented, hard-working students they will not be supported.
