NIH is losing track of grant money to foreign entities

For some reason, the National Institutes of Health funds foreign research still, just as in COVID research that worked so well in China. The grants are supposed to have audits performed by the facilities within 30 days and then after 9 months. This has not been happening in the vast majority of them. It means that the NIH has lost control of millions in tax dollars, and this is to foreign entities. Looking over the grants, none of them are unable to be done by American entities, so it begs the question as to why the money goes overseas.

OIG Findings

Here, via the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General report, is what was found.

“NIH did not ensure that NIH foreign grant recipients completed and submitted required annual audit reports. NIH did not receive 81 of the 109 annual audit reports for foreign grant recipients that met the requirements for an audit and for which NIH provided the majority of HHS funding. As a result, NIH did not have information needed from the 81 annual audit reports to effectively monitor these foreign grant recipients for potential findings or recommendations noted in the audit reports. Of the 28 audit reports received by NIH, 18 did not contain any information that indicated a need for further NIH monitoring or corrective action on the part of the foreign grant recipient, and 10 contained findings that required follow-up actions by NIH and the foreign grant recipient. However, for 7 of the 10 audit reports that required follow-up actions, NIH did not follow up with a management decision letter or did not timely issue the letter.”

It would seem that yet another government agency is not properly handling tax dollars. It is far too repetitive of an issue, yet the government does nothing to correct it. The major difference that seems to be showing up in the report and reality is that when visiting the grant list site, some of these sites are getting far more than the report claims. There are single sites overseas that are getting over a million in tax dollars. Then again, they should not be getting it.

House GOP slashes millions in support of criminal aliens and abortions

The House GOP fought to remove questionable pet project funding from the federal budget, which included help for abortions and criminal aliens. This will save millions of taxpayers, which will also prevent voter backlash to members of the GOP who have done nothing when they have done nothing regarding their campaign promises. Some of the places that lost funding will cause an uproar within the LGBT community and their supporters, but it will also cut a bloated budget that is dragging us further into debt. Abortion Locations Congressman Robert Aderholt (Al-4) who is the Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, listed several of the projects that lost funding. Women and Infants Hospital in Rhode Island was to get $1.8 million and is known for late term abortions. Dartmouth Hitchcock, Nashua in New Hampshire was to receive $650,000 and is also known for late term abortions. These being removed cleared away a lot of the politica...

One of the ways modern healthcare is shaped by insurance

People need to be aware of the ways that insurance companies shape how doctors treat people, as it affects their personal care. There are multiple terms and groups that people have never heard of that become important to medical practices and getting paid. Some of the ways that insurance makes demands are common sense, which should make people wonder why doctors are doing certain things. At the same time, the demands raise administrative costs for doctors, while shaping how they can be paid. Quick Disclaimer This article is for education purposes, not as a complaint against any of the people mentioned. It is so that people will know about an important part of their lives. Much of the way that this information was gathered for understanding was by getting to talk with someone who has been an insurance quality professional for almost two decades. Some of it can be disturbing to some, while other parts are just a way for people to gain knowledge. NCQA and HEDIS One of the grou...

He is running for the Illinois 8 th Congressional District , which encompasses part of Chicago and the surrounding areas. The area has been represented by Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi since 2017, who has some strong stances, but is the typical Chicago and National Democrat. Mark Rice Here, from his campaign website , is a short biography on Rice. Here is a man that can understand the energy issues plaguing this nation. “Mark was a fourth generation Texan and attended college in Austin where he graduated in 1985 from the University of Texas.
