Trump administration announces significant cuts in US biomedical research funding

ai generated text

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is imposing a 15% limit on grants awarded to institutions for "indirect costs" related to research, which includes expenses such as buildings, equipment, and support staff. This represents a significant reduction from the previously allowed levels, which would save the NIH an estimated $4bn. The cuts are expected to go into effect on Monday, and could potentially impact research on diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

    1. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
    2. It is accordingly vital to ensure that as many funds as possible go towards direct scientific research costs rather than administrative overhead.
    3. The United States should have the best medical research in the world.

  4. US
    Johns Hopkins University
    1. The targeted funds pay for the essential tools, facilities, and support personnel that make research possible, sustaining laboratories to house experiments, electricity to keep centrifuges spinning, and computers to protect clinical data behind life-saving medical treatments.
