"Trials that were mostly completed were rendered useless without the money to finish and analyze the work. Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million, it wastes $4 million.”

NIH scientists go public with criticism over Trump cuts
President Donald Trump’s National Institutes of Health director says some employees’ critical letter to him has “fundamental misconceptions about the policy directions the NIH has taken.” Monday’s letter from NIH researchers and staffers says the Republican Trump administration’s policies waste public resources and harm people’s health. NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya in his confirmation hearings pledged openness to views that might conflict with his, saying dissent is the “essence of science.” The NIH employees’ letter says, “We dissent.” Bhattacharya says ”respectful dissent in science is productive.” The White House says it’s ”restoring the Gold Standard of Science” for federal research instead of pursuing “ideological activism.”
