Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible

Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46

For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B

Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)
An image of NIH campus. Text says : With annual budget of more than $47 billion, NIH is the largest single public funder of biomedical and behavioural research in the world. In fiscal year 2023, NIH funding generated an estimated $92.89 billion in economic activity Every state and almost every congressional district received a share of NIH investment Each year, NIH awards over 60,000 grants that directly support more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 different institutions In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity
