π¬ Take Action to Protect Independent Science at the NIH
A proposed rule change could shift authority over NIH grant review and funding decisions away from career scientists, researchers, and program officers and place greater control in the hands of senior political appointees.
Independent, expert-led scientific review is a cornerstone of evidence-based research. Decisions about research funding have long relied on scientific expertise, peer review, and merit-based evaluation.
