Don’t cut any funding at NIH

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plays a vital role in funding cutting-edge biomedical research that leads to life-saving treatments and cures. Its recent decision to slash overhead payments to research institutions jeopardizes the ability of scientists to continue their critical work. This short-sighted move will hamper innovation and delay breakthroughs that could improve and save countless lives. We urge you to take immediate action to fully restore NIH funding levels and ensure these invaluable research efforts can proceed unimpeded. The health and wellbeing of the nation depend on a robustly funded NIH.
