And that's just a handful of results from June/July alone. AHRQ's entire annual research budget is $224M. Without it, we will have more infections, higher costs, more diagnostic errors & less evidence-based care. It pays for itself many times over! Please, consider contacting HHS or your local reps.

Heard from #AHRQ that the entire grants staff has been let go! They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This is outrageous and will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research: #MedSky #HealthPolicy

In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists who were about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant applications for the US agency, Nature has learnt.

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities
The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

Kids DO get more shots now than they did decades ago. There’s also a lot less death from preventable illnesses. That’s a win! Let’s dive into the wonderful world of Vaccine Schedules. The AAP first took ownership of schedules back in the late 1930s and we continue to recommend the vaccine schedule.

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health.
But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

Donald Trump’s proposed budget would gut American science
It would slash cancer research, drug trials, space exploration, and so much more.

Trump's cuts to science spending will damage our economy, leave hundreds of thousands of people jobless, destroy the discovery pipeline, and most importantly, cost lives.
