Senators Sound Alarm on Canceled Health Grants | Harrisburg News

Pennsylvania senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman are sounding the alarm over a sudden, sweeping cancellation of 150 health research grants — many already funded and peer-reviewed — sparking fears of wasted taxpayer dollars, stalled medical breakthroughs, and job losses. The abrupt halt threatens ongoing studies at major institutions like CHOP and Pitt, creating chaos for researchers and undermining long-term scientific progress. The senators are demanding answers from HHS by September 25, seeking clarity on the criteria used, how prior investments are weighed, and whether reconsideration is possible — while also pressing for transparency on where the redirected funds will go and what the agency’s future priorities are.
