Hello Roy, Thank you so much for posting about this. I have been shocked at the apparent lack of interest/press about the pending loss of this critical resource. I’m not sure how to fight for National Guidelines Clearinghouse but would be eager to add my voice and recruit others. I’m curious if anyone in the community has heard any more details than are provided on their website (www.guideline.gov<http://www.guideline.gov>). Action is needed!

Since 2017 guidelines were were vetted for trustworthiness in terms of their adherence to the US Institute of Medicine standards (look here: https://www.guideline.gov/help-and-about/summaries/determining-extent-adherence-to-the-iom-standards-in-ngc<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.guideline.gov_help-2Dand-2Dabout_summaries_determining-2Dextent-2Dadherence-2Dto-2Dthe-2Diom-2Dstandards-2Din-2Dngc&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=O_Kvr476MsrFpXIToT3nBQ&m=w5eGL8vrHIupux1YCqoDmM-ZtbD8f0lhSlG3-haNdFY&s=tR6o2-eHJNP2e-PpDCYLuWg1QpEdhLSwlEvW9m6EkkA&e=>) Thus we will be losing an important resource for research, education, and evidence-based practice. I could find no explanation for the shutdown other than lack of funding. I could find no media or health care/ medical literature coverage of the shutdown. -- Roy M.
