The National Institutes of Health has resumed terminating grant funding for research on health disparities, a year after a federal judge ruled that an earlier round of mass cancellations was illegal.
The agency has formally ended at least one grant, with more cancellations expected, according to NIH staffers and internal documents reviewed by the journal Science. Science confirmed one termination, of a grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health in December 2024 for five years of research at Emory University on changes in brain activity caused by racial discrimination.
