Nearly 2,500 N.I.H. grants that have been ended or delayed by the Trump administration.

Just as long as our President gets his luxury plane, it will all be worth it.

I get it. You don't understand how NIH grants work.

Congress provided the funds for NIH through annual appropriations. The NIH itself makes decisions about how to allocate funds within its Institutes and Centers.

Trump cancelled everything.

@Northwest Our President didn't do cancelling , the department heads approved by the U.S. Senate did

It' really cute how you deluded yourself into thinking that any departments heads and the Senate are making independent decisions. 🤣

Doesn't address my point, and the fact the RFK Jr being in charge does not inspire confidence.
