The NIH has not rescinded directives responsible for canceling over 2,400 research projects, despite a court ruling deeming them illegal. Staff are still screening grants for compliance with these directives, creating confusion and anxiety among employees. Legal experts criticized the handling of the situation, stressing the importance of clear guidance for compliance with court orders. Some positive steps have been taken, with about 900 projects being reinstated, but ongoing ambiguity remains about future directives and employee concerns about the legality of current practices.
This is not the way things normally go... You would not want to leave the people responsible for complying [with court orders] hanging out in the wind.
NIH employees... have continued to screen thousands of grants... after the court ruling... leaving many confused and worried about the legality of their actions.
