Clinical trials are basically just bake-offs, right? :)

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.

This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

Why aren't we having mass protests? What do we need to do to make that happen?

Congress has directed the DOD NOT use 2025 CDMRP funding for NF (neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis) and other conditions including Parkinson's, Lupus, Lung Cancer, Pancreatic, and MORE. Who do you know with contacts in DC or funding to support these losses? email.nfmidwest.org/t/y-77F29DAD...

This is insane.

It's 1) Congressionally-Directed earmarked research to benefit Military personnel
2) as OP says, awards are guided by patient advocates on the panel
3) it's pre-translational work that benefits soldiers, vets, and the general public later
$$ savings are negligible overall
Still wrapping my head around 57% cut to CDMRP (cdmrp.health.mil) funding in CR.

CDMRP funds some of the most innovative high-risk/high-reward research in biomedical science, and in it all, includes patient advocates.

BEFORE the cut, the breast cancer program funded 3-5% of proposals.

What now?

Yup. This is not a 'leftist' vs. 'liberal' split, this is an authoritarian vs. rule-of-law American split. If Chuck Schumer capitulates, he is on the side of the authoritarians, and all Americans (and certainly all Democrats) will immediately recognize this.
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
