Dr. Monica Gandhi, heading the Center for AIDS Research at UCSF, reflects on fears surrounding potential NIH funding cuts after a federal judge blocked an order to reduce funding. The consequences would be disastrous for biomedical research, jeopardizing clinical trials and essential services. Dr. Joe DeRisi expresses a sense of panic within the university, predicting a complete halt to research efforts if cuts go through. The impending 15 percent cap on indirect costs is framed as part of a conservative agenda to reduce funding that supports critical health research across various domains.
If the cuts do go through, "everything will come to a grinding halt," DeRisi warned. "Because you are talking about a massive cut on a very large scale."
"All of that as of Friday is massively threatened," Gandhi said.
