The Trump administration's crackdown on biomedical research is affecting scientists and local economies nationwide. Researchers express concern that funding cuts, including those from the National Institutes of Health, will result in job losses across various states, directly jeopardizing patient care and potential cures for diseases. Notable scientists emphasize the societal impacts on families with sick relatives, highlighting a bleak outlook for the future of scientific innovation. Lawmakers are urging NIH leadership to prioritize resources to sustain vital research efforts given the alarming funding uncertainties.
Rural cancer patients may miss out on cutting-edge treatments in Utah. Therapies for intellectual disorders could stall in Maryland. Red states and blue states alike are poised to lose jobs in research labs and the local businesses serving them.
Discoveries are going to be delayed, if they ever happen. All the people out there who have, you know, sick parents, sick children, this is going to impact.
The administration's unprecedented moves are upending the research engine that has made the U.S. 'the envy of the world in terms of scientific innovation'.
