Professors who work with students in the program say the federal defunding will likely doom the initiative, and with it vital opportunities to conduct research while attending a public college.

Schools, social media, bullying and violence are among the top concerns in the survey.

Beliefs about the safety of the measles vaccine and the threat of the disease are sharply polarized. About two-thirds of Republican-leaning parents are unaware of an uptick in measles cases this year, while about two-thirds of Democratic ones knew about it, according to a new survey.

In a Q&A, one of the project’s principal investigators describes the 'devastating' termination of grant funding for research that was nearing completion.

The terminations have spared no part of the country, politically or geographically. Of the organizations that had grants cut in the first month, about 40% are in states President Donald Trump won in November.

More than a dozen NIH grants to Georgia institutions have been canceled since President Donald Trump took office.

“Cuts at the CDC impact health, national security, community wellness, jobs in Atlanta, and faith in our day to day,” Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said.

Small businesses use a tiny portion of the NIH’s budget to bridge the gap between research and consumers, like making devices that reduce pain without opioids.

The FDA’s oversight of food additives is much weaker than its oversight of prescription drugs.

A study published in January examined some of the potential mental health effects of the current political climate.

The study found an association for Black women between childhood trauma and greater arterial stiffening.

A new NIH policy ordered by the Trump administration would reduce the amount grants pay to universities to help with the costs of conducting research. That reduction could cost Emory University about $140 million a year.

‘There’s a fair amount of agreement across political parties, across demographics,‘ said Dr. Stephen Patrick, an Emory professor who helped design the survey.

A task force convened by the American Psychological Association found little evidence that zero tolerance policies have improved school climate or school safety and said they may create negative mental health outcomes for students.

In a new report, city officials detail their proposals to reduce mortality from heart disease, diabetes and screenable cancers, which disproportionately impact Black New Yorkers.

To deliver on pledges from the new Trump administration to make America healthy again, policymakers will need to close gaps in longevity among racial and ethnic groups.

Many schools used federal Covid aid on longstanding, costly needs like new curriculum materials and buildings, a federal report says.

A 2022 survey of New Yorkers with Covid found that most experienced at least one symptom for a month or longer. Fatigue and decreased exercise tolerance were common.

The latest Community Health Needs Assessment found needs that particularly affect Black, lower-income and South DeKalb residents.

“Immigration is a social determinant of health,” according to the new State of the Latino Community report.
