Can't agree with this more strongly – from creating jobs to training our brightest young scientists to laying the foundations for tomorrow's cures & research tools, NIH support for basic research has been the bedrock of U.S. biomedical science. It's too important to jeopardize –

One of the key messages for tomorrow's ASBMB Hill Day is that NIH funding is an economic engine.

Every dollar invested in NIH returns $2.56 to the U.S. economy through jobs, innovation, and commercial activity rooted in NIH driven research.

$94.58 billion in NIH funding flowed back into the U.S. economy in 2024. Every dollar boosted jobs, businesses and local communities.

Gruesome diet aside, vampire bats are extremely social animals. They even strike up friendships (seriously).
