Abstract: The article discusses the significant challenges facing departments of social and behavioral sciences in public health due to recent federal actions that threaten research funding and priorities, particularly those focused on health equity. It highlights the termination of thousands of grants, particularly in areas affecting marginalized populations, and the resulting impact on research integrity, community partnerships, and the public health workforce. The authors call for a collective response to advocate for academic freedom, sustain community engagement, and uphold core principles essential for advancing health equity and addressing social injustices in health. They emphasize the need for strategic actions to protect the integrity of public health scholarship and ensure the continuation of vital research and community partnerships.
