Summary

Trump has reportedly slashed funding for the NIH’s Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimer’s Research, leading to layoffs, including its incoming director.

The center, named after former GOP Senator Roy Blunt, was a Republican-backed initiative to advance Alzheimer’s and dementia research. Despite previously championing the program, Republicans have remained silent on the cuts.

Experts warn weakening the center will significantly set back Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research.

Critics argue the move contradicts past GOP support and lacks justification from either party or scientific leaders.
