Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true.
I have known Carl for 2 decades and he is smart, dedicated, and quite apolitical, focused on science and getting stuff done on important problems.
Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.

Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB."
Russell Vought continues to remove great scientists as part of the Project 2025 mission to politicize and destroy NIH.

We filed a brief in SCOTUS case Trump v. Slaughter on behalf of a number of scholars and public servants who were unlawfully removed from independent federal boards by President Trump.
This case is about more than individual firings – it's about blocking the president's efforts to seize more power.
