More than 100 National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees on June 9 released a declaration that calls on the agency’s director to roll back terminations of grants and the firings of workers.

Alexander Grinberg, a director at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and dozens of other NIH employees signed the so-called Bethesda Declaration using their real names. Others chose to remain anonymous due to what they described as fear of retaliation.
