Call on your house representatives to support a FY2026 budget bill that would preserve funding for NIH at the Senate Appropriations Committee approved level of $48.7B and adopt Senate language prohibiting a cap on indirect costs and limiting multi-year funded grants to levels consistent with FY2024

Proud to participate in #RallyMedRes to advocate for biomedical research funding together with over 400 participants from 39 states. Inspiring speeches by Senator Tammy Baldwin and Katie Couric about the critical importance of NIH funding for basic research that leads to cures for disease. #FUNDNiH

Someone hacked my X account which i havent used for a year and locked me out. Impossible to get through to x. Very frustrating!

Proud to stand up for science on the steps of the Tennessee state capital in Nashville! #standupforscience

I ran across this beautifully written opinion piece from a writer in Kansas. A darkness has descended on America. We must seek the air and light of hope. kansasreflector.com/2025/02/09/a...

Stand Up For Science 2025 Announces National Day of Action WHO: Everyone! If your life is better because of science, this rally is for you. WHERE: Washington, DC & state capitals nationwide WHEN: March 7, 2025 Forthcoming details about local rallies: www.standupforscience2025.org

Apologies for this long post I put together to explain to non-scientists the impact of NIH cuts: Last night, an “atomic bomb” was dropped on the biomedical science community. We were informed that effective immediately, indirect costs on NIH grants (both current and future) would be fixed at 15%.

Everyone please contact your state representatives ASAP and let them know how damaging this is for science, the workforce, and patients who benefit from the research being done. I've been told it's best to use your personal email addresses rather than work addresses when writing to congress.

Happy New Year!
