This is what a lot of us have been worried about.
This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.

Today is a devastating reminder that infectious diseases donβt care what your βbeliefsβ are. Everyone is likely to be affected directly or indirectly. Serious challenges require serious people at the helm. Protect your loved ones. Educate. Advocate. The cost of not doing so will be too much to bear.

A slow but steady stream of NoAs are being reported to me. NIH grants management specialists are clearly back to work getting awards out the door, both for scientist's sake and for their own.
