The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and disease control centers (CDC) began in the Covid-19 research revenue.
Covid-19 Research Funds “were given for a limited purpose: Improving the effects of the pandemia”, “including a NIH document” Nature He has achieved and offers updated support to agency staff to finish how to finish these funds. “Now that the pandemic is over, the grant is not necessary,” the document indicates. It is not clear how much money they will be given.
The crack comes as a NIH, according to the President of the US Donald Trump, the last month has stopped almost 400 support.

Nih, that is, the world’s largest moneyman Biomedical researchHe has provided grants for almost 600 projects that include ‘Covid’, worth $ 850 million. Together, these projects consist of almost 2% of the NIH $ 47 billion budget. And the CDC intends to cancel $ 11.4 billion in pandemic response funds, NBC News.
Sars-no-2, virus Covid-19 This causes more than 7 million people worldwide, including more than 1.2 million in the United States, and continues to pollute and die. Analyze the virus, the answer to his infection and the response to the pandemic government is key to avoiding the next, say scientists.
Among the endorses of the NIH, a $ 577 million program is SARS-COV-2 in Coronavirus and the pandemic potential to identify six types of viruses and six other types of viruses.
“These terminations are clear. We said new anti-virus treatments,” says Jason McLellan, a project to develop wide spectrum treatments at the University of Texas. “To cancel the full subsidy SARS-COV-2 involved will be a dangerous part of preparing the future pandemic.”
Nih didn’t answer NatureQuestions about grants or scientists concerns. Parental arrangement, US health and human services in the US (HHS), said Nature “The Covid-19 pandemic ended, and HHS will not die anymore, responding to a non-American pandemic that does not move from the year a few years ago.”
Updated Orientation
Updated documents Nature The obtained (see additional information below) were sent to “Grants Management companies – This document is” NIH no longer supported “research activities” in China, in addition to the “transsexual topics” in the vaccination fence. The final guidance also said South Africa and climate change must end.
It explains the new research category that the documents should end: any project in the list submitted by the NIH Director or HHS. Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy has been smart today.
These large-scale subsidies are background; The agency usually only makes a dozen projects every year in response to serious concerns or serious concerns about fraud, and only makes it as a final resource after taking other actions like suspension.
The grant management specialists will be responsible for identifying and terminating projects, as the current leadership of the NIH will make their scientific member want to make these determinations.
Some scientists are afraid that the guidance of NIH staff is too blur and any research project related to some key words could be in the steak block without considering their merit. “They’re making costumes, and it doesn’t give surgical laser,” says Angela Rasmussen by Saskatchewan University Sasskatowan, Canada, Sars-Cov-2.
Long Covid
Under the new directive, there is no clear NIH Covid Covid intention to extinguish research, among other things, such as a $ 1.6 million recovery initiative, which aims to find the causes and treatments of the disease. Trump Administration seems to be removed for a long time. This week, HHS will close the Covid Covid research and internship office, coordinating the U.S. government, which coordinates the disease, according to this email correspondence Nature got it.
Covid infections in the face of many patients struggling with long-term health effects, “says Jennifer Nuzzok, Providen, Epidemiologist and director of the Pandemia Center of the University of Rhode Island University Brown.
Kennedy is committed to “becoming healthy America”, partly based on the US Health Agency based on chronic diseases. This “Wholesale crackdown” in Covid Research is not in the campaign spirit, Nuzzo says. “We are studying some of the most serious illnesses of infections,” he stated that research has linked the infection called Herpesvirus called Epsteinus.
Akiko Iwasaki, Connecticut, Connecticut, Connecticut, Connecticut, said: “If we still don’t represent this pandemic now, I fear that we will be much less prepared for pandemic future pandemic.
