- NIH cancels Harvard professor's $1 million discrimination-health research grant — The National Institutes of Health canceled a nearly $1 million grant held by Harvard School of Public Health professor Nancy Krieger studying how discrimination affects population health. The grant had one year remaining when it was terminated without advance notice. Krieger's cancellation was among the first R-01 grant cancellations under the Trump administration's "department of government efficiency" initiative, which targeted research on gender, race, equity, and related topics deemed "woke" by the administration.
