Those notices are an obscure but necessary cog in the grant-making machinery that delivers some $47 billion annually to research on Alzheimer\u2019s, heart disease and other ailments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The procedural holdup, which emails from N.I.H. officials described as indefinite, has had far-reaching consequences. Scores of grant review panels were canceled this week, creating a gap in funding from the National Institutes of Health. Together with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/14\/health\/national-institutes-of-health-research-grants.html\" title=\"\">other lapses<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/02\/13\/upshot\/nih-trump-funding-cuts.html\" title=\"\">proposed changes<\/a> in N.I.H. funding early in the Trump administration, the delays have deepened what scientists are calling a crisis in American biomedical research.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Columbia University\u2019s medical school has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaspectator.com\/news\/2025\/02\/18\/columbias-medical-school-pauses-spending-and-hiring-amid-nih-cuts\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">paused hiring and spending<\/a> in response to funding shortfalls. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wgbh.org\/news\/education-news\/2025-02-13\/boston-university-mit-tighten-budgets-as-they-brace-for-federal-funding-cuts\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">froze the hiring<\/a> of nonfaculty employees.

And lab leaders said in interviews that they were contemplating and, in some cases, making job cuts as grant applications languished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For the N.I.H., the world\u2019s largest public funder of biomedical research, the ban on announcing grant review meetings has effectively paused the vetting and approval of future research projects. Government advisers and scientists said that amounted to an effort to circumvent a federal judge\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/28\/us\/politics\/states-lawsuit-trump-federal-grants-pause.html\" title=\"\">temporary order<\/a> that the White House stop blocking the release of billions of dollars in federal grants and loans across the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe new administration has, both in broad strokes and in rather backroom bureaucratic ways, stopped the processes by which the N.I.H. funds biomedical research in the nation,\u201d said Vaughn Cooper, a microbiologist at the University of Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He had been planning to study urinary tract infections in people with long-term catheters, a project that expert reviewers gave a favorable score in initial vetting four months ago. But a higher-level review meeting to advance his research and other proposals has now been canceled, putting his work on hold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An N.I.H. official wrote in an email in Feb. 7 reviewed by The New York Times that the ban on announcing grant review meetings was in effect \u201cindefinitely\u201d and \u201ccame from the H.H.S. level,\u201d a reference to the Department of Health and Human Services, which is now being led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The breakdown in the grant review process seemed to reflect a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/19\/us\/politics\/trump-foreign-aid-freeze.html\" title=\"\">broader Trump administration strategy<\/a> of exploiting loopholes to effectively keep much of the president\u2019s blanket spending freezes in place, despite judicial orders to keep taxpayer dollars flowing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Officials at the N.I.H. and the Department of Health and Human Services did not respond to requests for comment on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The lapse in grant-making may augur additional upheaval at the N.I.H., which helps drive the pharmaceutical and biotech industries with its spending and generates tens of billions of dollars in additional annual economic activity each year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an internal email late Friday morning, Dr. Matthew Memoli, the agency\u2019s acting director, warned employees of \u201cfurther changes ahead\u201d and said it would have \u201cmany opportunities to demonstrate our value to Secretary Kennedy in the coming weeks and months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For American research labs, which in many cases pay their employees with N.I.H. grants, lapses in funding can quickly push scientists to dismantle the infrastructure and work force that support lines of experimentation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Katie Witkiewitz, who studies treatments for substance use disorders at the University of New Mexico, said that expected gaps in funding already meant that she would have to let go of one employee in the coming months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe N.I.H. just seems to be frozen,\u201d she said. \u201cThe people on the ground doing the work of the science are going to be the first to go, and that devastation may happen with just a delay of funding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The stoppages have touched nearly every area of science. This week alone, the N.I.H. had scheduled some 47 meetings for handpicked experts in various fields to weigh grant applications, the first stage of a lengthy review process. But 42 of those meetings were canceled, stalling proposals to study pancreatic cancer, addiction, brain injuries and child health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Higher-level review panels charged with deciding whether to recommend projects have also been canceled in recent weeks. Under a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gsa.gov\/policy-regulations\/policy\/federal-advisory-committee-management\/legislation-and-regulations\/federal-advisory-committee-act\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">1972 law<\/a>, neither type of review meeting is allowed to occur without being announced on The Federal Register, a government publication. Such notices, which typically need to be published at least 15 days in advance, have <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/search?conditions%5Bagencies%5D%5B%5D=national-institutes-of-health&amp;conditions%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=NOTICE\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">not been posted<\/a> on the register since Jan. 21, the day after President Trump\u2019s inauguration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In messages to scientists who serve on review panels, which were reviewed by The Times, N.I.H. officials said that federal register notices had stopped being updated. Any meetings not announced on the register, they said, were being canceled. (Some meetings appear to have gone ahead because they had been announced on The Federal Register before the Trump administration took office.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhat is happening is that they\u2019re basically blocking the process, just by an administrative, legal means, rather than by ordering staff not to make grants,\u201d said Jeremy Berg, who directed the National Institute of General Medical Sciences at the N.I.H. for eight years and now works as a data scientist and administrator at the University of Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Jan. 21, amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/01\/21\/health\/hhs-cdc-fda-trump-pause-communication\/index.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">clamp down on communications<\/a> from federal health agencies, Dr. Dorothy Fink, then the acting secretary of H.H.S., directed employees not to send any announcement to The Federal Register \u201cuntil it has been reviewed and approved by a Presidential appointee,\u201d according to a memo reviewed by The Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Portions of the communications pause eventually appeared to be lifted. But meeting notices for The Federal Register remained frozen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In internal guidance to N.I.H. staff posted on Feb. 10, which was reviewed by The Times, the agency\u2019s leadership said that federal register meeting announcements \u201ccontinue to be on hold.\u201d For that reason, the guidance said, \u201cthose meetings will be canceled on a day-to-day basis until further guidance is received.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Adding to the confusion, portions of review panel meetings that were once open to the public in the interest of transparency have now been closed, the guidance said. As a result, review panels were being canceled en masse because of a failure to announce them to members of the public who were barred from attending them anyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s a Kafkaesque thing going on,\u201d Dr. Berg said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The review panel shutdown is only one element of a seemingly <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/14\/health\/national-institutes-of-health-research-grants.html\" title=\"\">broader pullback<\/a> in biomedical research funding. Researchers have also reported delays in the delivery of the money and reductions in new grant awards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration sought to slash tax dollars allotted to overhead research costs like lab maintenance, a plan that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/21\/us\/politics\/judge-nih-medical-research-cuts-universities.html\" title=\"\">remains on hold<\/a> under a federal judge\u2019s temporary order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Compounding difficulties at the N.I.H., an estimated 1,200 employees were <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/us\/politics\/fda-cdc-health-department-trump.html\" title=\"\">dismissed<\/a> as part of Mr. Trump\u2019s plan to shrink the federal work force. Those layoffs especially hurt parts of the agency, like the grants management staff, that turn over more frequently and therefore rely on probationary employees, former agency officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The N.I.H. is on the clock to spend its congressionally allocated funding: Any money not released by the end of the federal government\u2019s fiscal year in September could be lost, scientists said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And grant review panels generally meet only a few times per year, exacerbating the effect of recent delays. If proposals remain frozen for long enough, researchers said, they could miss the next stage of vetting and remain on hold for half a year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis crisis \u2014 and I\u2019m not exaggerating by calling it a crisis \u2014 has already consumed one funding cycle,\u201d Carole LaBonne, a stem cell biologist at Northwestern University, said. \u201cBut if this block to publishing in the register continues on much longer, it\u2019s going to swallow two funding cycles, and that will put many labs out of business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid
