The FL Board of Governor’s rejection of Dr. Ono for president isn’t just about one person — it’s about the increasing politicization of our universities and the erosion of academic freedom.

What’s happening at UF is part of a larger, deeply troubling trend across the country.

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to:

1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.)

2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps

3. Support Research Funding in FY2026

As we start a new day, we remember that for several families in Tallahassee and beyond, they have begun to confront new horrors that we could never imagine. Let’s hold them in our hearts.

America’s failed leadership and lax gun laws cost some #FSU families everything that ever mattered.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

AIMBE's new fact sheets highlighting the NIH & NSF as economic engines have dropped at lnkd.in/ePRGWqnC!

Did you know that every $1 in NIH research funding yielded $2.56 in new economic activity in the U.S.?

NIH-funded research also supported over 400,000 jobs across the nation in FY2024!

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades."

AIMBE is looking for biomedical researchers to share how recent policies have disrupted their grants/work: aimbe.wufoo.com/forms/qs9tsi...

Your personal anecdotes are essential in helping us convey to Members of Congress the devastating impact of these changes.

Your response can remain anonymous.

"As out of fashion as it is to talk this way, we are all really in this together. Academia and industry do different things most of the time, and we each benefit from that. And that’s why the silence from industry about what’s going on with the NIH et al. is so infuriating."
Biopharma companies and CEOs are keeping their heads down at their own peril. They should speak up about what’s happening to the NIH and other science agencies before it’s too late.

Silence gives consent. And no one should consent to this.

Indirect costs are not wasteful overhead; they fund essential infrastructure that makes research possible—labs. Cutting these funds jeopardizes infrastructure that has made the US a global leader in scientific innovation. This is not just an academic concern—it is a matter of national security.
AIMBE has developed a new advocacy letter on the changes to NIH indirect cost rates: aimbe.org/advocate/wri...

We urge the broader biomedical research community to customize this letter (<1 minute) to contact your congressional representatives about the severe consequences of this new policy 👇

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs.

It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

part of the reason university administration has grown is because of the requirements imposed by the federal government. you can't ask reseachers to do all the things and then also do their research.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.
