National Institutes of Health

The National Institutes of Health appears in Supercharging a New FDA: Marty Makary on Science, Power & Patients as the research-funding institution inside Marty Makary’s broader health-agency reform account. Makary says the administration had not cut NIH funding and frames the issue as reallocation rather than anti-science retrenchment.

The episode’s NIH contribution is Root-Cause Public Health Research. Makary argues that more research attention should go to food as medicine, school lunches, microbiome, gut health, sleep, and environmental causes of disease, while less attention should be locked into genetics and treatment after disease appears.
