Instead, he said he would “follow the law”, at the same time exploring the impact of the reduction and providing any researcher who does the job that improves health results of Americans has the resources needed to perform their work.
Bhattacharya also set up a new, decentralized vision for the future Research in nih -u Which he said would be focused on accepting different ideas and transparency, focusing on research topics that have the best chances to take directly to the health results of Americans.

“There is a lot of distrust of where the money goes because confidence in public health has collapsed from pandemic,” Bhattachary said. “I think the transparency about indirect costs is absolutely valuable. This is something universities can repair by working together to ensure that where that money goes.”
Earlier this month, Trump’s administration has announced that it will reduce billions of overheads associated with Federally funded research scholarships that go to various institutions, as part of the wider move of Trump administration to reduce waste consumption.

When Alsobrooks cited a project that Bhattacharya worked on Alzheimer’s disease, which included a mentoring “diverse” professionals, he said that his understanding of that part of the project means mentoring researchers with a diverse set of ideas, not a diverse set of skin colors.
“I think basically what matters is: do scientists have the idea of making the scientific field in which it is located?” Replied Bhattacharya. “Do they have an idea that ends up addressing Health needs Americans? “
Bhattacharya acknowledged that “identifying” health inequality among minority groups is important, but emphasized the need for research that drives significant outcomes.

He also briefly talked about improving the frequency of “validation research” and increasing the number of applications that are funded for younger investigators.
Worries from Republicans During the hearing he included whether Bhattacharya would continue to support the research of research between the link between vaccines and autism, Something Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La., He said that it has been proven again and again that it has nothing to do and allow further use of the aborted fetal tissue in the research that is funded by the niche.
