The Trump administration has recently implemented a temporary freeze on a number of federal health and science agency activities. This freeze has resulted in restrictions on employees from communicating with the public, attending public meetings, and submitting scientific research papers. The impact of this pause is being closely monitored by various agencies, including the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
STAT has previously covered the freeze on grant reviews at the NIH, as well as the interruption to the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
