NY medical schools press Gov. Hochul to put up billions for scientific research
The request comes amid continuing uncertainty over federal funding, with research and thousands of jobs on the line.
We’re calling on @governor.ny.gov to invest in the Empire Biomedical Research Institute. A robust, stable research ecosystem protects jobs, fuels innovation, and builds community health statewide. NY must invest in our global leadership in science.
