President Donald Trump has reportedly directed his budget chief to draft an executive order aimed at placing health research funding under his direct control. The report comes from Politico.
This potential directive suggests a move by the administration to centralize authority over federal allocations for health-related scientific studies and medical research. The specific details of the proposed order were not immediately available.
The implications of such an order on existing research institutions and funding processes remain to be seen. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
