Late nights writing up RPPRs, helping write new grant proposals, doing the research itself, meeting with absolutely phenomenal collaborators… my heart is sinking

I worked for two years in NIH-funded research and 3 other research labs throughout my bachelors and masters degrees. Seeing funding frozen breaks my soul.

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.

Trump has introduced an immediate halt to all work on PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, set up by George W Bush).
This includes the HIV treatment provided to 20 million people through PEPFAR, people who will die without treatment.
And many more will acquire HIV as a result.

Correlation is not causation, but there's a lot of correlation here. PEPFAR began in 2003 near the peak of world AIDs deaths. Today 20M people receive HIV treatment through PEPFAR funding. That's almost 2/3 of people treated in the world. Call your Congress people and get PEPFAR back.

Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.

Now they are going after disabled children. Those who need the help most are the first target.
