Report Says

Nature: A forthcoming policy from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)
will target - and at least temporarily stop -- funding to laboratories and
hospitals outside the United States, threatening thousands of global-health
projects and international collaborations on topics such as emerging
infectious diseases and cancer. The NIH, the world's largest funder of
biomedical research, plans to release the policy in the next week. Some
agency staff members have already been instructed to hold funds for foreign
institutions that are part of both new research grants and grants coming up
for renewal, according to multiple agency employees who spoke to Nature under
the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the
press.
