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.

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.

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

On March 14, Senate passed the Continuing Resolution cutting CDMRP funds. It’s devastating to scientific progress and neurodegenerative disease research including ALS.

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.
