Senator Murray Opening Remarks at Full Committee Mark Up of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Bills | United States Senate Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Committee on Appropriations

Thanks @murray.senate.gov and the Appropriations committee for the bipartisan bill that rejects the draconian cuts to NIH science and restricts the harmful multiyear funding scheme!

www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...

Senate committee endorses NIH budget increase, rebuking Trump administration’s proposed 40% cut Senators from both parties endorsed a $400 million increase to the budget of the National Institutes of Health on Thursday

More good news:

"Senators from both parties endorsed a $400 million *increase* to the budget of the NIH on Thursday, in an Appropriations Committee vote that represents a clear rebuke of President Trump’s plan to dramatically reduce the agency’s spending."
www.statnews.com/2025/07/31/n...

Key takeaways: $48.7 billion for $NIH, an increase of $400 million, not 15% F&A, prevents MYF.

First highlight...

Senator Capito started of the discussion saying that the bill contains AN INCREASE for NIH.

The details are not available, but the bill will be released ofter the hearing.

This is not a done-deal, but it does show where the Senate is on a bipartisan basis.

The #NIH is not for sale. The NIH has bipartisan support. Keep this pressure on the House.

Likewise, we are asking that you share the link to the survey with your colleagues who may be similarly impacted: www.aclu.org/APHAvNIHform.

Regarding APHU/ACLU et al. vs. NIH Lawsuit

NIH director talks grant terminations controversy, Bethesda Declaration, making America healthy "We haven't yet achieved the mission of the NIH, which is research that improves the health and longevity of the American people," Jay Bhattacharya said.

Bhattacharya has been making the rounds following the #BethesdaDeclaration roundtable.

It’s disappointing (but not surprising) to see him spreading the same disinformative talking points colleagues corrected at the roundtable.

I am barely holding it together this week. When you see your #NIH colleagues, please give them a huge thank you for their service. #NIHStrong #FEDStrong #defenddata #defendresearch #russellvoughtmustgo

Anger and push back working, keep going. #NIHSTRONG #Fedstrong

Check out @lamhine.bsky.social’s poster 749 showing multiracial Americans are the racial group with the SECOND highest prevalence of subjective cognitive decline 🤯 Much more research needed in this understudied population (that Tracy and I happen to be a part of) #AAIC2025

The show is impeccably cast and the main actors are great. Lots of tie ins, chemistry, Scotland, and a few surprises for long-term fans of #Outlander (one big one at the end). Check it out! #Bloodofmyblood

Hey y'all. We've still got a few spots open in our Daily Life Sampling Workshop on October 6 - srndna.utdallas.edu/srndna-events/

I think we were successful in showing them that we are organized, committed, hard working and passionate. That even if you exclude some of our lead organizers, there are plenty more of us ready to step in. That we are going to keep fighting to save #NIH.

I'm excited to share the Main Stage at the American Psychological Association Convention with some heroes for a Headline Event on Advocacy. Advocacy is an important part of being a psychologist, and all the more important during these current times, so come check it out! #APA2025 #APA2025Convention

We have news. The good news is a lot of notices of award we sent out under the continuing resolution with cuts will now get 98%. The bad news is we have to renegotiate with PIs again. We'll do our best to get these out, but we ask PIs to work with us on public facing titles, abstracts, and aims.

Flyer for Roundtable Rally w QR code to RSVP and a photo of a protester w a sign supportive of NIH.

On Monday, some of the signers of the Bethesda Declaration are meeting w Jay Bhattacharya. Join us afterward for a rally at the Medical Center Metro at 4:30!!
