A screen capture of the AIMBE advocacy webpage with 3 advocacy letters outlined in red boxes: STEM Training Pipeline, NIH & NSF Indirect Cost Caps, and FY26 Funding.

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to:

1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.)

2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps

3. Support Research Funding in FY2026

See Where Federal Dollars Flow to Universities Around the Country (Gift Article) The Trump administration has targeted a few elite universities with its threats to freeze funding. But many more schools around the country are vulnerable.

Federal research funding flows to all 50 states and is a critical part of the economy in many college towns around the US. Federal research funding "has now become one of the few drivers of innovation that is widely distributed across the country". www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science.

This helps me remember what this is all about.

Ironically, it is about the treatment of pain.
