The graphic contains a photo of Russell Vought, the red Stand Up for Science logo, and a news clipping reading: "White House proposes new rules giving political appointees final approval on research grants, These proposed Office of Management and Budget regulations would render the federal research grant review process opaque." The graphic reads: "Stop vought. Save Science. Emergency Science Meeting, June 2nd 4pm et.

For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality
The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.
