When she succeeded Anthony Fauci as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Jeanne Marrazzo felt that she'd landed "probably the most important infectious-disease job in the world," she told me. After decades of working in academia, she now had the power to influence, nationwide, the science she knew best-overseeing 4,500 employees at a $6.5 billion institute, the second largest by budget at the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest public funder of biomedical research.

Jeanne Marrazzo, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Kathleen Neuzil, former director of the NIH's Fogarty International Center and former associate director for international research, filed complaints Thursday with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, seeking reinstatement. They allege they faced retaliation for whistleblowing and other protected activity. Marrazzo "objected to the Administration's hostility towards vaccines and its abrupt cancellation of grants and clinical trials for political reasons," according to her complaint.

The National Institutes of Health shouldn't cut off funding to 900 grants that the agency previously canceled and then had to restore thanks to a June court order, lawyers for the Department of Health and Human Services said last week. The Supreme Court recently overturned that court order, paving the way for NIH to once again cut off funding to the grants. However, the justices also kept in place a lower court order that found that NIH's directives for the grant terminations were unlawful.

NIH director Jay Bhattacharya ordered an immediate individualized review of all current and planned research activities to address concerns about unallocated grant money by the fiscal year-end.

NIH is proud to lead this effort to advance vaccine safety and support innovation that protects children without compromise. By reinstating this Task Force, we are reaffirming our commitment to rigorous science, continuous improvement, and the trust of American families.

NIH will not consider applications that are either substantially developed by AI, or contain sections substantially developed by AI, to be original ideas of applicants.

A senior NIH leader was fired amid an investigation into steering a $3.3 million contract on autism and other topics to benefit his spouse.

In a significant legal victory, New York Attorney General Letitia James won a lawsuit halting the Trump administration's cancellation of vital NIH research grants, restoring funding.

In our study, we found that hundreds of serum and urine metabolites were correlated with percentage energy from ultraprocessed food intake.

The increase in withdrawals seems to be mostly because the NIH quietly closed around 100 funding categories in February and March, supporting diverse researchers.

"You go into science because you want to make a difference, and when you get a grant, it means you can do something to try to help people."

The sacrifice to research is immense, says Gigi Kwik Gronvall, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, emphasizing the critical impact of halting these studies.

Hall claims that aides for Kennedy blocked him from being directly interviewed by New York Times reporters about the study; he was only allowed to provide written responses.

The most advanced neutrino weigh-in so far has put a new upper limit on the enigmatic particle's mass, capping it at 0.45 electron volts (eV).

"Right off the bat, they were just enamored with the ladies in the group," says Rana Smith, highlighting the new social dynamics at Chimp Haven for Al and Kamaka.
