Can't agree with this more strongly – from creating jobs to training our brightest young scientists to laying the foundations for tomorrow's cures & research tools, NIH support for basic research has been the bedrock of U.S. biomedical science. It's too important to jeopardize –
NIH supported more than 407,000 jobs in 2024. Research funding strengthens communities. Join ASBMB in highlighting the value of basic research: www.asbmb.org/advoca....

Over the last century, research has helped improve the early detection and treatment of serious diseases. But future progress is at risk unless we continue federal funding for medical research.

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.
