House supports fair health research and opposes political meddling in science funding.
This resolution would have the House of Representatives formally state that diversity and fairness are vital for health research and patient outcomes. It would oppose recent efforts to politicize how federal research grants are awarded and reviewed. This means the House would back the traditional, science-based process for funding important medical studies.
Today, federal health research grants are reviewed by scientists based on merit, and existing policies require inclusive research and open access to results. This resolution would have the House of Representatives formally state its opposition to proposed changes that would give political appointees more control over these grants, reduce the role of scientific peer review, and restrict research on diversity, equity, and inclusion. It would also urge the administration to keep the current science-based review process.
