Across all areas, including Alzheimer’s & cancer research, the #NIH went from funding ~5,000 new research grants in 2024 to 3,900 in 2025.
This is despite Congress rejecting NIH budget cuts.
Fewer funded grants = less room for new ideas.
May the odds be ever in your favor.

The stupid paradox, cont.
#NIH director Jay Bhattacharya launches the "Scientific Freedom Lectures" series w/ a non-scientist. Matt Ridley is a science journalist who believes in the Covid lab leak hypothesis. "Scientific freedom" is about conspiracy theories.

Every dollar #NIH receives is an investment in our future. That said, this won't stop what is happening now. The Trump regime is using internal funding mechanics to block and stall funds from going out.

@jenna-m-norton.bsky.social gets it exactly right. Scientists need to speak up - silence isn't an option right now!

Imagine how much #revenue could have been #generated if there were no #funding #delays at #NIH www.fiercebiotech.com/research/des...
In 2024, #NIH was 2.8% of the federal budget of HHS & less than 1% of total federal spending.
NIH research generated $94.15 BILLION in new economic activity in 2025 (390,863 jobs).
The 250% ROI at a fraction of the total budget speaks for itself.

A good read.
Since WW2, the #NIH has operated as a decentralized entity. Priorities were set by Congress, but independently executed by experts. This led to its success.
Now, political appointees have unprecedented control over what research gets funded, harming science.

#NIH is a fundamentally important institution in science, a democratic institution accountable to the people and the scientific community.
That’s a big reason why autocrats and oligarchs are now trying to consolidate their power over it. We must revert that. That’s what this article is about:
