The Trump administration's decision to cut $4 billion from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding has created significant alarm among medical researchers. Local researchers, crucial in areas like cancer and HIV, face dire consequences due to the steep reduction of indirect cost payments from over 50% to just 15%. Experts like Dr. Monica Gandhi warn that this will hinder vital research operations, threatening the future of clinical trials and patient care. The cuts will affect jobs at major institutions like UCSF, which relies heavily on NIH funding for its research infrastructure.
This is going to be a disaster,
To go down drastically to 15% was shocking today.
We're very worried about the uncertainty of what's going to happen.
Everyone who works at UCSF ... are largely funded by the infrastructure support from the NIH indirect costs.
