CPDD launches website supporting researchers

After the Trump administration's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memo freezing federal funds for all grants, including those from the National Institutes of Health, chaos and lawsuits ensued (see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/adaw.34393 ). The actual memo was rescinded, but not the “policy” behind it (which apparently had to do with eliminating all diversity equity and inclusion). The halt to funding for all grants until the government has time to “review” them for “compliance” with White House philosophy was destructive to the scientific community as well as to patients, according to commenters.
