In a blow to many foreign medical researchers who rely on U.S. funding, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced last week that by the end of September, it will halt what are known as "foreign subawards," in which U.S. researchers share their grant money. These funds support collaborations ranging from investigator-initiated research projects to large clinical trial networks that test new medicines, and a single NIH grant can have more than a dozen subawards to other countries. NIH cast the move not as a way to reduce its funding of foreign research, but as necessary to better track the agency's money and "maintain national security." Going forward, NIH said, foreign scientists must directly apply for separate grants, and it will revise the process for that.
