Salles, Et Al. V. National Institutes Of Health, Et Al.. Explore Case.Salles, et al. v. National Institutes of Health, et al.

NIH successfully resulted in the reinstatement of hundreds of grants, NIH鈥檚 current policies continue to target viewpoints it opposes, threatening research because the government dislikes what it thinks the researchers believe or are likely to say, and continue to violate governing statutes and regulations. This is stymieing critical public health research, particularly related to climate change, the starkest health disparities including those faced by communities of color and LGBTQ+ populations, and other areas. -
