  Baldwin quotes directly from my article abt advisory-council vacancies. BALDWIN: This poses a very serious threat to NIH's ability to fund research. BHATTACHARYA: I've ordered the ICs to nominate new members... including for the advisory committee to the director [which hasn't met since Dec 2024]
  Exclusive: key NIH review panels due to lose all members by the end of 2026
  
  Thirteen of the agency’s advisory councils, which must review grant applications before funding is awarded, are on track to have no voting members.
