Cuts in NIH research grants will have a lasting negative impact on science and medicine in the U.S. Grants will continue to fund specific research costs, but essential infrastructure like labs, advanced equipment and support staff are crucial for groundbreaking work.

You’d be naive to think that they’ll cap indirects at 15% and repurpose the savings for better pay lines and bigger budgets. They want to destroy biomedical research not increase it by shifting IDCs to direct costs of research.

Hearing these stories is the healthier, more uplifting content I needed to see in my timeline. Dr. Clark was the first African American to get his PhD in Psychology at Columbia. His contributions to education, psychology and civil rights are immeasurable. #blackhistorymonth

False. The science is there to prolong American lives, scientists don’t make policy decisions, congress, senate and the president do. We provide the science they choose to ignore it. Call out the real problem here, corruption in politics. It’s not the scientists or the science.

Funding from the NIH contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 (99.4%) of the new drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019, and 🚨 100% 🚨 of FDA approved drugs btw 2010-2016. NIH funding is the backbone of American biomedical innovation. #protecttheNIH

These are important ?? that we should be/have been having, but rational reform is one thing and what is happening currently is quite another. Reform does not happen w/a sledgehammer. We need to push back against that, convos about reform are irrelevant if science is destroyed.

President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

This budget proposes to cut the NIH by nearly half, a 40% reduction. The NIH has been responsible for an extraordinary number of lifesaving cures and has been an economic power engine unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-st… Ask Congress to save science. #FundingScienceSavesLives
