@pbsnews: Trump administration’s NIH funding cuts threaten research on sickle cell disease So far in 2025, the Trump administration has cut more than $1 billion in NIH grants. That includes a study on sickle cell disease, a blood disorder that affects roughly 100,000 people in the U.S. According to the CDC, 90% of them are Black. Ali Rogin speaks with Dr. Charity Oyedeji, a Duke University hematologist whose research grant was terminated, to learn more. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #nih #medicalresearch #sicklecelldisease #minorityhealth #news #trumpadministration #sicklecell #health #hematology #cdc

This is so horrifying. Simply because sickle cell research prioritizes African Americans, the population mainly affected by sickle cell disease, does not mean the the research is DEI

Not cutting any research, just cutting the 65% overhead that goes with it. Dream harder PBS…that’s why you’re ending.

If this can be canceled for "DEI" can Black people cancel tax payments as DEI? Taxation without representation and all...
