DOGE at NIH

[Anonymous]

This will destroy research hospitals and lead to the closing of medical schools.

Classic authoritarian attack on scientists

As of 45 min ago on the NYTimes live news feed, Trump to restrict billions of federal dollars that had funded medical research at universities. These funds had supported research into curing disease, research into food safety like keeping E. coli out of crops like spinach and lettuce, etc. All of that will end.

Any more updates OP?

It was bad enough that they pulled the US out of WHO but undermining important medical research within the US?

Med schools should close until they reintroduce the Hippocratic Oath, as in: DO NO HARM.

This indirect cost cap on NIH grants is directly out of Project 2025.

OMG the public health nightmare continues

Presidents Trump and Musk have also axed the US govt stockpiles of health data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). They removed > 8,000 pages from more than a dozen government websites in two days. The purges removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes and scientific research.

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47)

hey are doing quick in-and-out trips, terrorizing federal employees and energizing spectators. Are these window-dressing? For Trump and the base? What is the point of any of this?

No, that's not what they're doing.

They're feeding each department's financial data into AI software to analyze so they can make cuts of things Trump/Elon/Russ Vought don't like.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/02/06/elon-musk-doge-ai-department-education/

They also are running everyone's personnel file through AI. And they've downloaded software on government computers to search employee chats for certain keywords.

Sounds like a new version DEI - employee retention based on perceived political orientation

Yes, exactly. Seriously inexperienced, unqualified and unvetted people barely in their 20s are being put in charge of major national systems and trillion dollar budgets, with the only merit being their political orientation. That's clear discrimination against much more experienced and qualified people.

When I was barely in my 20s I was administering and titrating high risk, lifesaving drugs, caring for critically ill children on ECMO and CRRT, and responding to pediatric traumas. Just because you are young does not make you stupid or incompetent.

Yay for death!

What do you think an appropriate cap would be?

Hope you don't work at a research hospital, because you're going to be unemployed soon.
