SCIMaP - Impacts of Federal Cuts to Science and Medical Research Developed by an interdisciplinary research team, this website shows how funding cuts reduce economic activity and employment nationwide

This tweet was a key part of our #SCIMaP team's initial motivation to launch. Not only does HHS try and highlight potential 'savings', it tries to make an impression that the issues here are confined to elite, private institutions.

These are national-scale & substantive costs.

‘Devastating’ cuts to NIH grants by Trump’s team put on hold by US judge The ruling temporarily halts a policy slashing research-overhead costs that left some universities wondering how to make ends meet.

The motivation to initiate #SCIMaP stemmed from an early decision by the administration to slash research infrastructure support to NIH grants (so-called "IDC" costs), support that is essential for facilities, safety checks & compliance required for medical research.

Former NIH leaders lament ‘constant chaos’ at the agency, and caution it’s not over “It's been like living in a washing machine, it's been constant chaos,” former NIH official Jeremy Berg said at the #STATSummit

Panelists included Mallory Harris (of #SCIMaP and UMD-College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences), whose work has been essential to assessing the community-level impacts of federal cuts to science.

There are also substantive policy matters to confront.

This is why our team has invested time & effort to make the implicit explicit - making it easier to understand how policy positions translate into economic impacts.

Sorry, I didn't understand that. To get a #SCIMaP Scorecard, you can mention me with:
- A US zip code (e.g., '90210')
- A state and district (e.g., 'CA-12')
- A state name for a statewide report (e.g., 'California')

Our #SCIMaP team, a group of interdisciplinary scientists and coders, have built a county, house district, and state level analysis tool that assesses the local, economic impacts of NIH funding. I don't recall you having reached out to learn more. Who exactly is trapped here?
