The ISSCR Signs on to Coalition Letter in Support of NIH
The ISSCR joined with Research!America, hundreds of biomedical research organizations, and thousands of private citizens from the U.S. scientific community to urge House and Senate appropriators to avoid a full-year continuing resolution for Fiscal Year 2025 appropriations and instead provide a robust funding increase for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The letter also calls for the preservation of existing protections against cuts to reimbursement for NIH grantee Facilities and Administrative costs. These drastic cuts will slow scientific progress and weaken the U.S. research ecosystem.
