Let's talk about why funding basic research is smart spending:

Federal biomedical research = <1% of budget, $2.50 return per $1 invested.

Imagine if every government program had this ROI.

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN UPDATE: The federal shutdown has temporarily paused budget negotiations, including proposed cuts to biomedical research funding.

Insulin. Chemotherapy. Antibiotics. Vaccines.

All came from "impractical" basic research.

No basic research = No breakthroughs = No new treatments.

What's basic research? The "useless" science that changes everything.

Federal funding helps researchers take the long view that companies can't. That's how breakthrough treatments are born.

Doctors treat today's patients.

Researchers create tomorrow's cures.

Working for years without recognition, they're solving health crises we haven't even encountered yet.

The unsung heroes of healthcare. 🔬

Thank you, biomedical researchers!

Biomedical breakthroughs take YEARS. Researchers dedicate entire careers to single diseases, thousands of experiments, countless setbacks. Most Americans couldn't name a single biomedical researcher.

They persist anyway. Because someone's life depends on it.

Today's research assistants, tomorrow's cure-finders:
Federal funding helps train the next generation of biomedical scientists. By investing in researchers today means investing in decades of future discoveries.

Imagine running the same experiment 1,000 times. 999 might fail.
Imagine dedicating your career to a problem that might not be solved in your lifetime.

That's a biomedical researcher. 💙

They keep going because somewhere, a family is waiting for hope.

Every discovery starts small. A cell. A protein. A hypothesis.
But the impact? Limitless.

That discovery becomes a treatment. That patient sees their grandchildren grow up. Those grandchildren inherit a healthier world.

This is why we invest in research.

NIH funding: $1 → $8.38 in private R&D. Research universities = economic engines. Early-career grants = 30 years of breakthroughs. 76 patents per $100M.
Investment builds America's future.

The COVID vaccine proves we can't wait for emergencies to START research.

Basic science TODAY = rapid response TOMORROW.

Tell Congress: Fund basic science research NOW so we're ready for emergencies.

30 million Americans have rare diseases.
95% have NO approved treatment.
Why? Not profitable enough for private companies to research.

Federal funding is literally the only hope.

Here's biomedical research reality: it takes 10-15 years from discovery to a new drug's approval

When Congress cuts funding mid-study, that research doesn't pause; it ends. Years of progress lost. Studies restart from zero.

Federal funding = 80% of US medical research. Private sources can't replace it. If Congress cuts it, future treatments get delayed, new medicines slow down. Speak out to lawmakers and visit FundResearch.org

Ray Casey has essential tremor - uncontrollable shaking that threatened his career as a pipe fitter welder.

After a focused ultrasound clinical trial, he regained 100% use of his right hand restored, 98% use of his left hand.
