STRIPED’s Ariel Beccia speaks out in Theresa Gaffney’s new STAT piece on how eating disorder research is being gutted under the Trump admin. $2.7M in NIH grants already cut. Read more: www.statnews.com/2025/06/03/e... @hsph.harvard.edu @albeccia.bsky.social @statnews.com

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions

Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

Eating disorders are chronic diseases. But instead of focusing on these- MAHA is terminating funding.

1 in 5 kids have an ED.

Eating disorder research has always been underfunded — about $55 million in NIH grants went to eating disorder research in 2023

eating disorder research was already so severely underfunded - 7 terminated grants is devastating to our field!

Stand Up for Science! @standupforscience.bsky.social · Jun 3

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.

Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.

Big update to scienceimpacts.org: See the devastating impact of cancelled NIH grants across the country, and how losses at specific institutions ripple out to surrounding communities.

This is all in addition to the future losses that would result from cutting funds for indirect costs of research.

Please make a comment on this NOW (they are due tomorrow). We can't let NIH and NSF POs and division directors become political appointees--this will completely destroy science.

Jon Freeman @freemanjb.bsky.social · May 21

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees

Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday

📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful
