AIMBE has launched our new Citizen Advocate for Science Letter: takeaction.io/aimbe/scienc...

We ask the broader scientific community to widely share this letter (✍️ <1 minute) with friends, family, and other concerned citizens to urge their elected officials to protect biomedical research funding 👇

Academy leaders and its members would like to thank @delauro.house.gov staffer Caitlin Peruccio for a timely and productive meeting on the value of NIH.

Discussions like this one are vital as we continue the work of #advocacy on behalf of #imaging researchers.

YouTube video by Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Res. What if My Medical Imaging Research Was Funded?

At the Academy's #MedTech25, early career investigators were asked "why is funding your research important?" These are the responses they shared.

Funding #imaging research has been, and continues to be, essential to improving patient's lives.

Example comment: I oppose changing Schedule F. It will impact NIH by weakening their scientific leadership & independence, leading to a more politically driven approach to research grants & other NIH functions, potentially undermining the agency's mission of scientific research.

We urge our community to consider commenting on the Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service (proposition to make NIH Institute and Center Directors Schedule F).
