Jeanne Marrazzo, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Kathleen Neuzil, former director of the NIH's Fogarty International Center and former associate director for international research, filed complaints Thursday with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, seeking reinstatement. They allege they faced retaliation for whistleblowing and other protected activity. Marrazzo "objected to the Administration's hostility towards vaccines and its abrupt cancellation of grants and clinical trials for political reasons," according to her complaint.

The National Institutes of Health shouldn't cut off funding to 900 grants that the agency previously canceled and then had to restore thanks to a June court order, lawyers for the Department of Health and Human Services said last week.

However, the justices also kept in place a lower court order that found that NIH's directives for the grant terminations were unlawful.

NIH director Jay Bhattacharya ordered an immediate individualized review of all current and planned research activities to address concerns about unallocated grant money by the fiscal year-end.
