SAVE MEDICAL RESEARCH! Glad to see 22 states fighting back against the draconian cuts being forced through NIH under the guise of reimbursement rates. These cuts will harm medical research that saves and improves lives! Call our U.S. Senators & Rep. Pallone-urge them to oppose these dangerous cuts!
