The move surprised NIH officials, since the department previously claimed <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/rfk-jr-nih-hhs-layoffs\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">no further cuts<\/a><\/span> were planned at the agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We thought the worst was behind us, and we were transitioning into this new phase, and the rug was just pulled out from underneath us,&#8221; one laid-off employee said.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the NIH did not comment on why NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya sought the additional layoffs, referring a request for comment to the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the NIH. HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Among the cuts were around 50 employees at the NIH&#8217;s National Cancer Institute, or NCI. They had worked in the institute&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-nci\/organization\/ocpl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Office of Communications and Public Liaison<\/a> overseeing programs like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cancer Information Service<\/a>, which provides answers to doctors and patients about cancer, and updates to databases <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/publications\/pdq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">summarizing<\/a> cancer information for healthcare providers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The layoff notices came a day after staff in that NCI communications office had met with top-ranking NIH leaders, to discuss drawing up plans to consolidate their staff into a new centralized communications arm across the agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While several communications offices at the NIH&#8217;s institutes had been gutted during an initial round of layoffs on April 1, NCI&#8217;s team was spared. Only a handful of NCI staff had been laid off last month, two people said, including in the institute&#8217;s human resources teams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Leadership was in the process of transferring some process and some of our media relations people over to NIH, because they were still getting press inquiries, but they couldn&#8217;t handle the volume of inquiries that were coming through,&#8221; the laid-off employee said.<\/p>\n<p>Two people said they had been told that the second round of cuts was done as part of an effort to compensate for other scientists needing to be reinstated at Bhattacharya&#8217;s agency, in order to comply with layoff targets.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alexander-tin\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alexander  Tin<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Alexander Tin is a digital reporter for CBS News based in the Washington, D.C. bureau.
