A serious medical scene shows a healthcare worker in surgical scrubs standing in a hospital corridor. Bold white text overlays the image, reading: “Curing cancer. Preventing pandemics. What’s it worth?”

A dark blue graphic with white text centered over a soft-focus medical background. The message reads: “Just $105 per year from the average taxpayer funds the national institute of health. That’s all it takes to help save lives improve care, and fight disease”

A clean, square infographic with a dark blue background and light blue accents. The header reads, “What does that money actually do? Your $105 helps fund:” followed by six icons and descriptions: 1. Mental Health Research – Depression, PTSD, addiction 2. Cancer & Rare Disease Studies – From early detection to lifesaving treatments 3. Pandemic Preparedness – Vaccines, virus tracking, prediction and prevention 4. Children’s Health – Brain development, neonatal and pediatric care 5. Medical Innovation – Imaging, prosthetics, diagnostics 6. Basic Biomedical Science – Foundational research for future cures

Tax Day - round 3 - NIH 🩻🧠🧬

🧬 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $105/year to NIH, helping fund:

• Cancer & rare disease breakthroughs
• Pandemic preparedness
• Children’s health
• Medical tech innovation
• Mental health science & more

NIH powers the science behind the healthcare we rely on.

This is particularly frustrating considering the months that we have spent advising students and faculty members about the new criteria.

Can anyone confirm if the new NIH F30/F31 review criteria are being rolled back? This is rough to find out 1 month before the deadline.

The M-PACT Study A clinical study investigating how medications can help treat PTSD in military and veterans.

If you or someone you know is a military veteran with PTSD, consider this clinical trial on new medications to treat those with the condition.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible

Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46

For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B

Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)
