[quote=Anonymous]I posted this in the Jobs forum but its a political issue -- the damage that will be done to this country will literally take another lifetime to undo. We have spent decades and billions, if not trillions, of dollars building a health care and science infrastructure and the Project 2025 people -- with Trump and Kennedy as useful idiots -- are undoing it in weeks. And what is particularly disgusting to me is the HHS notice said the reductions "are primarily aimed at administrative positions including human resources, information technology, procurement, and finance" and will “target roles in high-cost regions and employees in programmatic areas that have been determined to be redundant or duplicative with other functions in HHS or across the federal government" but these are among the programs/agencies they have fully cut:

FDA/Center for Tobacco Products (CTP)/ Entire division gone
CDC Division of HIV Prevention, entire branch gone, all epidemiologists and health scientists
CDC, National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health, Health Effects Laboratory Division, Allergy and Clinical Immunology Branch, Entire team
National Institute of Organizational Safety and Health / whole offices in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Morgantown
FDA/ Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) / Office of Strategic Programs / Data Standards Staff, entire team
CDC/National Center for Injury Prevention and Control/Division of Violence Prevention, entire team
NIH/National Institute on Aging
CDC/NCCDPHP/ Division of Reproductive Health/ Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring
CDC/DEHSP - the entire division has been RIFd
CDC / Natl Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion / Division of Oral Health, nearly every employee in the division
SAMHSA / OTS-CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH STATISTICS & QUALITY / OFFICE OF TREATMENT SERVICES/ Entire Office RIF'd
CDC / Global Health Center / Division of Global HIV and TB -- 7 of 14 Branches within Global HIV were completely RIF'd
FDA/CDER/ Office of New Drug Policy - entire office removed
SAMHSA / Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality / Office of Population Surveys. Entire office RIFed
HRSA/Bureau of Primary Health Care(BPHC), Office of Health Center Investment Oversight, entire office was eliminated

(Of course they ALSO cut all those "redundant" and "duplicative" functions....like none of these people did anything)
FDA Office of management: all budget, HR and acquisitions are gone
FDA/ Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research/ Office of Management, whole office
FDA/Office of Inspections and Investigations/Office of Management, whole office
FDA/Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)/Office of Management, whole office
CDC Freedom of Information Act Office. Entire team
CMS / Office of Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights, whole office
FDA / Human Foods Program / Office of Communications, Education, and Engagement, entire team
CDC/Global Health Center/Division of Global HIV and TB/Strategy, Policy, and Communications Branch, entire team[/quote]
