NIH killed grants on orders from Elon Musk’s DOGE Court documents and internal correspondence show the cost-cutting force has broad control over the world’s largest public biomedical funder.

Who's calling the shots at NIH?

Sworn testimonies and internal e-mails reveal for the first time the breadth of DOGE's control over the world's largest public biomedical funder.

Federal grant funding of research is incredibly important to Oregon’s economy and for training the next generation of scientists. Calling on @wyden.senate.gov @repbonamici.bsky.social @salinas.house.gov @repvalhoyle.bsky.social to oppose the EO freezing federal grants!
