Trump promised scientific breakthroughs. Researchers say he’s breaking science. NIH funding for biomedical research has abruptly fallen by billions of dollars, with many grant decisions on hold. Trump officials say they’re reviewing the agency.

Powerful new Washington Post story up...

Did you know that for every $1 spent by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), $2.41 is generated from the resulting research?! Science creates jobs & BOOSTS the economy. It's a fantastic investment. #StandUpforScience2025 #ScienceForAll

Tell Congress: Stop the Trump-Musk Power Grab The Trump administration’s illegal overreach has jeopardized science and sparked a constitutional crisis. Tell your members of Congress to stand up for our democracy.

Save NIH and NSF Research Funding ⭑ 5 Calls On February 7, the Trump administration moved to cut billions of dollars in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Science …

A useful tool and a great thing to do...

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.

It's deadly to the US economy.

The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

In case folks are interested in contacting their congresspeople about the NIH indirect cuts with some estimates of what they would mean for institutions in their state, here are some estimates based on published F&A rates and funding ... let me know if you want a particular state
