Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

The NIH capping the indirect cost rate (IDC) for grants at 15% can best be described as a direct assault on Universities. It’s such a bureaucratic, innocuous sounding thing that actually means that research universities will be kneecapped. Thousands of employees across the US will lose their jobs.

For every $100 million of funding, NIH-supported research generates 76 patents. These patents create opportunities for an estimated $598 million in further research and development.

"The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

"This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments" - Dr. Lucky Tran

Another extremely effective and impactful program preparing the next generation for scientific careers is undermined, to the detriment of the students and America’s future.

“All of the students who became involved with H2O last fall continued into the spring semester and remained STEM majors.”
Until recently, NASA frequently touted its Here To Observe program, which brought undergrads from underrepresented groups up close to NASA science missions.

Now the program is falling apart, with contracts ended prematurely and uncertainty if it will continue in any form.
