DEI became an important part, per the press, of the NIH grant approval process. No real disagreement on that and it was in NIH press releases, from long-term studies on gender-affirming care to making sure disadvantaged/underrepresented people/etc. were represented in the studies as grant recipients and research topics or subjects.

Some press hailed this as a great thing; some press damned it with equal force.

If you want DEI to d-i-e, then this is a way of doing it, esp. for multi-year grants.

I take this bit to be absolutely intentional.
