"The #NIH has made possible cure after cure for generations, and without it, I might not be alive today. That's why recent news of a potential deal to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars from the NIH to the Department of Defense -- an agency that already has a budget 20 times that of the NIH -- is so chilling. This comes on top of nearly 2 years of NIH funding cuts and workforce reductions, along with repeated attempts to politicize grant determinations. From 2025 to 2026, the NIH reduced the number of new #research grants it funded by almost 25%." https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/123130 #science #cancer
