The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has begun eliminating some 10,000 jobs as announced by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—a staggering shrinkage of the department’s workforce and consolidation of programs that some former officials and others warned would decimate U.S. life sciences activity, from academic research to industry drug development and regulation to public health oversight.
The 10,000 jobs being eliminated include 3,500 positions at the FDA, 2,400 at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and 1,200 at the NIH. Another 300 positions will also be eliminated at the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. HHS has said the job cuts and its restructuring of operations will save $1.8 billion a year, eliminate bureaucracy and waste, and enhance the agencies’ ability to conduct essential functions.
The staffers being dismissed received their notices in their email inboxes, saying they would be placed on administrative leave with no access to their building: “This RIF [reduction in force] action does not reflect directly on your service, performance, or conduct.”
