The Science Coalition Statement on Recent Cuts to NIH Funding
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Science Coalition’s Communications Director Daniel Jacobs issued the following statement in response to the Trump Administration’s recently announced cuts to biomedical research funding:
“Recent efforts by the administration to cut billions of dollars in scientific research funding from the National Institutes of Health will undermine America’s standing as the preeminent world leader in medical innovation. Across the country, academic medical research institutions help find new cures and treatments that save lives and improve health outcomes for the American people. Significantly reducing federal outlays for maintenance, operations, and infrastructure enhancements at our nation’s research facilities will set us back and undermine our competitive edge. We urge the administration to reverse course and restore these critical investments in American medicine.”
