Scientists push back on research cuts — and some are winning

Elizabeth Cooney, a cardiovascular disease reporter at STAT, sheds light on the harsh reality of grant termination letters in the research world. Researchers like neurologist Charles DeCarli are facing setbacks as their studies are being spiked for not aligning with agency priorities.

In a recent case, DeCarli’s $53 million investigation into how vascular factors contribute to dementia among white, Black, and Hispanic individuals was abruptly terminated in March. The reasoning behind the termination was that the research no longer effectuated agency priorities.

What makes this situation even more disheartening is that when research hints at diversity, equity, or inclusion, the termination letters can take on a nastier tone. DeCarli believes that his study’s focus on addressing dementia disparities among different racial groups may have played a role in its premature end.

The implications of these grant terminations go beyond just the loss of funding. They represent a missed opportunity to advance our understanding of complex health issues and develop targeted interventions. Research into conditions like dementia, which disproportionately affect certain populations, is crucial for improving health outcomes and reducing disparities.

As researchers like DeCarli navigate the challenges of grant funding and agency priorities, it is essential to advocate for inclusivity and diversity in research. By supporting studies that address health disparities and prioritize equity, we can move closer to a more equitable and just healthcare system.

The grant termination letters may sting, but they also serve as a reminder of the work that still needs to be done to ensure that all individuals have access to high-quality healthcare and research opportunities. Researchers like DeCarli are not giving up, and their determination to continue their vital work is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the scientific community.
