One penny per tax dollar is what science, ALL science in America costs.
I would gladly spend two or even three cents per tax dollar to double or triple what America spends on science.
That is how you make things better, for everyone.

Cutting funds for science and research will save you a penny on the dollar but may one day cost you a life that you love.

NIH freeze by the numbers, and the conclusion is correct. This is sabotage, and we are quickly reaching a point where even if everything were to open back up today, it would be too late to save many labs.
As of today, at least 73 study sections have not met. If they review 50 applications, plus 30 triaged, 10% funding rate = 8 grants per SS.
That's 584 fundable grants on hold. Probably 5000 researchers affected in those teams composed of our best and brightest.
SABOTAGE.

As far as I know, the timing for this is not clear, but I will be checking the Federal Register.
