The impacts are becoming apparent as institutes settle on new “paylines,” or the portion of peer-reviewed grants that meet the cutoff for funding. The dramatic drop at NCI is likely to result in “substantial loss of Pis and staff,” NCI Deputy Dir. Douglas Lowy recently told an advisory board.

🧵 3/3 Bottom line for 🧪:

The last remaining fight over the Billionaires' Bill is this week (*right now*) and in the House.

The fight for science funding in FY26 starts *next week* in the House and will continue during the summer.

So: don't lose hope...it's a *summer-long* fight for science!
There are LOTS of ways to #StandUpforScience!

Take your pick from our menu of actions: www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight...

The "Big Beautiful Bill" isn’t the federal budget—it’s a reconciliation bill focused on tax cuts. The real FY26 funding decisions for NIH, NSF, and more are happening now in Congress.

The proposed budget slashes NIH by ~40%, devastating medical research, clinical trials, treatment breakthroughs—life-saving work.

Thousands of lives at risk for tax cuts for the rich? NO THANKS.

Will the Senate Save NIH?
Rescuing biomedical research is every bit as important as saving Medicaid.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

Hey Michiganders,

This Friday in Lansing many scientists and concerned citizens will gather to stand up for science at noon.

Come and show that Michiganders support science, and value the constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly.
