My goodness, does this person even know that most NIH research is not clinical trials? Much is basic science research. Better clinical trials is a good idea, less funding for basic science research seems rather a bad one.

Much if not most NIH-funded basic research suffers from the same shortcomings as those outlined for clinical research. Poor experimental design and analysis, rife with diverse biases, unreliable / not replicable, often conducted with the primary goal of publishing papers in scientific journals to advance the researchers’ career / professional standing career rather than producing solid results that advance our collective knowledge.
