The ACLU reports that researchers say the National Institutes of Health is suppressing or restricting work on Alzheimer's disease, kidney disease and other conditions. Scientists featured in the report describe political interference shaping what studies can proceed or be discussed, raising free speech and public health concerns. The claims add to ongoing debate over scientific independence under federal research agencies.

Why now: New ACLU reporting alleging political censorship of federally funded medical research is drawing attention among scientists and health advocates.
