NIH has issued ~65% fewer (796 vs. 2300) new grants so far this year compared to the same point in prior years. Combined with the delayed release of already-appropriated funding and we are witnessing unbelievable real-time damage to the U.S. scientific enterprise.

It's clear that many do not understand what @NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on NIH-funded research—that’s all 210 drugs. But what the public sees is just the tip of the iceberg. Pharma takes credit for the final product, but beneath each drug developed, there are ~20 years of basic research, and 90% of the cost is from basic research funded by the NIH, which discovers drug targets, understands disease mechanisms, and creates life-saving treatments. Figuring out how cancer evades the immune system, how addiction rewires the brain, and how heart disease develops is the role of the NIH, creating the foundation for the breakthrough drugs that come 20 years later, and the NIH does all that with only 0.8% of the US budget. Without NIH, there would be no cancer immunotherapy, no anti-overdose medication, no anti-heart attack or stroke medication, no cutting-edge treatments. If NIH funding is cut, the iceberg will melt. That means fewer cures, more suffering, and more lives lost. The science beneath the surface keeps us afloat. Invest in NIH. Invest in life

A reminder that if you’re trying to cut costs for government, the NIH actually doubles the tax payer $$s! This innovation boosts the US economy in many ways. @elonmusk Neuralink wouldn’t have happened without it, as an example.
Derek Thompson@DKThomp

This is a huge deal. “Indirect costs”, as they’re called, from NIH still pay for direct science — eg, funding science labs, lab upkeep — but also university administration. Cutting this line item by billions of dollars is going to threaten university jobs but also potentially cut into science lab funding. There are absolutely controversies/concerns about wasteful indirect cost allocation. But it’s hard to imagine a cut this deep not affecting science labs directly. This is just not where I’d start cutting billions. Universities (including those that don’t have $10b endowments) are gonna scream, and I’d guess we’re gonna hear about extremely worthy programs relying on labs being endangered.
