How NIH Cuts Could Affect U.S. Biomedical Research

Former NIH director Dr. Harold Varmus speaks out about what recent budget cuts and policy changes could mean for science.
One of the areas targeted by President Trump’s administration for cuts has been the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Cost-cutting actions have included the layoffs of some 1,200 NIH employees, the termination of research grants, a pause in the “study sections” that evaluate and award grant funding, and a cap on indirect costs included in research grants. Some of those moves have been paused following court cases.
Dr. Harold Varmus, a former director of the National Institutes of Health, joins Host Ira Flatow to talk about the actions, and the impact he fears they could have on the future of biomedical research in the United States.
Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
