An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Lift NIH freeze

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plays a vital role in advancing biomedical research and promoting public health. However, recent actions have imposed devastating freezes on the agency, impeding its essential operations. These freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring threaten to severely undermine NIH's ability to carry out its critical mission. As a leading scientific institution, NIH requires the resources and autonomy to function effectively in tackling pressing health challenges facing our nation and the world. Allowing these restrictive measures to continue would be detrimental to scientific progress and could potentially jeopardize ongoing research efforts with far-reaching consequences. A request is hereby made to lift these freezes immediately and allow NIH to resume its work without impediment, enabling its dedicated researchers and staff to fulfill their crucial responsibilities unhindered.
