In early 2025, nearly 2,100 research projects funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) were terminated. Numerous calls for depoliticization of the NIH’s scientific mission culminated in the Bethesda declaration, which has now been signed by over 32,000 individuals. However, little attention has been given to the effect of these terminations on people who stand to benefit most from scientific discoveries: the patients, care partners and community leaders.
