Nature Human Behaviour - NIH indirect cost cuts will affect the economy and employment
Economic effects of slashing the NIH indirect rate. $1M of money spent by NIH generates $2.5M for the economy.
What is the purpose of cutting this engine for innovation and economic activity?

Rare Disease Day 2025: it’s hard to celebrate this with the NIH budget cuts, threats to Medicaid funding and lawsuit to end Section 504 Disability rights - all of which will severely impact individuals with rare diseases like my daughter Margot. We wear our stripes, we advocate and we fight!
