Spent the day on Capitol Hill to support @NIH and @theNCI funding! If you haven't already, contact your representatives and tell them Biomedical research saves lives.

I am excited to be participating in Hill Day again this year! Now more than ever, it is important to let our representatives know that funding for science is a top priority.

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some are considering changing jobs or leaving the country. Others say them might abandon research altogether.

NIH grants drive more than $92.89 billion in economic activity across all 50 U.S. states and DC. It is estimated that every dollar of NIH funding generates $2.46 dollars of economic activity. So what you are bragging about is a more than $22 B hit to local economies across the US
NIH@NIH
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Feeling nostalgic this morning as Director Emeritus Dr. George Weiner proudly holds the official letter that first declared us a 'comprehensive' cancer center by @theNCI. As we approach 25 years, we reflect on the incredible strides the center has made!
