The NIH recently terminated numerous grants, primarily targeting projects focused on vaccines and marginalized communities. While officials justified the terminations under federal regulations, experts suggest faculty members can enact administrative and legal measures to possibly restore their funding. Amanda Fuchs Miller emphasized that, although broad, certain protections exist for grantees against unjust termination. She urged grant recipients to utilize appeals within the 30-day period following a termination notice. However, concerns linger regarding delays in appeals processing and how effectively the NIH will manage the volume of requests.
While this provision exists and is broad on its face, there are some guardrails for grantees and steps that can be taken along the way to make sure these were done legally.
The delay in actually hearing back on the appeals request is a place of concern.
