Use the Power of the Purse to continue NIH funding to stop US “brain drain”.

The cuts to NIH funding proposed by the Trump administration jeopardize America's standing as a global leader in scientific research and development. These funding reductions endanger the livelihoods of a generation of scientists and threaten to drive talented researchers away from the United States. Vital biomedical research projects tackling diseases and public health issues could be halted or delayed. To maintain America's innovative edge and retain the world's best scientific minds, reversing these shortsighted budget cuts is imperative. Robust funding for the NIH upholds the nation's commitment to pioneering scientific discoveries that improve lives and strengthen economic competitiveness. Sustained investment in research is crucial for driving future breakthroughs and development.
