The Trump administration's freeze on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant application reviews had a significant impact, stalling approximately 16,000 applications worth around $1.5 billion. This hold was due to the administration blocking NIH from posting necessary notices in the Federal Register. Recently, NIH announced that it could begin sending out notices for upcoming scientific review meetings, marking a gradual return to normalcy. However, many other types of meetings remain halted, continuing the uncertainty for researchers dependent on NIH funding, the largest source of biomedical research financing globally.
The Trump administration's halt on NIH grant reviews has been partially lifted, allowing the process to slowly resume for thousands of applications awaiting funding.
NIH stated it could begin submitting Federal Register notices for scientific meetings, but many grant review meetings are still frozen, causing uncertainty for many researchers.
