摘要
《华盛顿邮报》报道，白宫一场会议上，管理和预算办公室主任Russell Vought推动将NIH资金决策置于政治控制之下，NIH院长Jay Bhattacharya试图阻止但未成功。此后《纽约时报》和Politico等媒体证实并扩展了这一消息，称政府正在起草行政命令，拟授予Vought对NIH每一笔拨款的否决权。NIH是全球最大的生物医学研究资助机构，预算达
On Friday, The Washington Post reported on a contentious White House meeting in which the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Jay Bhattacharya, tried to fend off yet another effort to place funding decisions under political control. The move came from Russell Vought, head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which has sought to limit and control research funds. The Post suggested that Bhattacharya ended up on the losing side of the fight.
This initial leak has been confirmed and expanded on by outlets such as The New York Times and Politico. It now appears that the administration is drafting an executive order that would give Vought veto power over every individual grant awarded by the NIH.

The NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research on the planet, and its $47 billion budget is larger than that of the next 10 research funders combined. Its funding, distributed largely through grants to academic researchers at universities, supports everything from basic biological research to clinical trials and has helped the biotechnology industry flourish.
