NIH Funding

Reducing NIH funding would have serious consequences for medical research, public health, and the economy. The NIH drives groundbreaking discoveries in disease prevention, treatment, and cures, benefiting millions of Americans. Funding cuts would slow progress on cancer, Alzheimer’s, and emerging health threats while weakening the U.S.’s global leadership in biomedical research. Additionally, the NIH supports jobs and innovation, with every dollar invested generating economic returns through biotech advancements and local employment. Cutting funding risks stalling medical breakthroughs, increasing long-term healthcare costs, and undermining national health security. Continued investment is essential for saving lives and maintaining America’s scientific edge.
