The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been under scrutiny since COVID-19, so it is not surprising that members of Congress have released NIH reform initiatives.
In this episode of Complications: Health Policy Unraveled, host Stephanie Kennan provides a summary of NIH reform recommendations, starting with the white paper released by Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, which suggests reform priorities around transparency and research grants. Stephanie also breaks down the broader NIH Energy and Commerce Framework released by House Energy and Commerce Chair Kathy McMorris, which recommended comprehensive NIH reform in several areas, including mission and leadership, financial disclosure and transparency requirements, misconduct and expert accountability, and funding and grant reform.
Tune in to learn more about the congressional NIH reform recommendations and why it is important to help shape the conversation about NIH reform even if it is unlikely that reform legislation would pass this year.
