UC faculty propose the California Futures Fund, a multi-billion-dollar state-level pool to shield UC research, teaching, and service from the federal funding freeze targeting UCLA. Short-term UC funds cover costs, long-term plan calls for broader revenue.

This "Executive Order" is the exact opposite of gold standard science- it calls for political appointees to evaluate research ⬇️ Make your voices heard! #standupforscience actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

Call your congressional reps at 202-224-3121 and make some noise ! This is not just a disaster for science & health care but will lead to major job loss across the US ⬇️
Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Direct Economic Contributions
NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.
