Research disrupted at the NIH Clinical Center
STAT - Morning Rounds; by Theresa Gaffney; 5/6/25
The NIH Clinical Center — the nation’s largest hospital devoted solely to medical research — is in crisis. In 2023, the hospital ran around 1,500 studies with a permanent staff of more than 1,800 federal workers. But amid continued disruptions from the Trump administration, researchers are leaving, technicians have been let go, studies are facing major delays, and some patients are deciding to drop out of the hospital’s research.
