How DEI Corrupted the NIH – by Christopher F. Rufo
The National Institutes of Health, which provides funding for breakthroughs in medical science, has long enjoyed a trustworthy reputation. But, in keeping with the Biden administration s whole-of-government equity agenda, the NIH has shifted its priorities away from science and toward the science of scientific workforce diversity, subordinating medicine to the latest ideological fad: diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI.
With the help of Open the Books, a nonprofit research organization, we have obtained documents detailing the NIH s descent into left-wing racialism. The agency, which is supposed to prioritize hard science, has made DEI a top priority, shelling out millions on diversity initiatives that do nothing to advance medical research.
Not good.
