AAMC Statement on Drastic Cuts to NIH-Funded Research
Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The AAMC, in a statement by President and CEO David J. Skorton, MD, and Chief Scientific Officer Elena Fuentes-Afflick, MD, expresses deep concern about the administrations cuts to the NIH:
‘The administration’s announcement that it plans to cut federal support of biomedical research by drastically reducing reimbursement of research costs related to peer-reviewed grants from the NIH will diminish the nation’s research capacity, slowing scientific progress and depriving patients, families, and communities across the country of new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative interventions.’ This has serious implications for our nation’s health and future.
Every American has benefited from NIH-supported medical research conducted at medical schools, academic health systems, and teaching hospitals nationwide. Every American will be harmed by the undermining of this long-standing partnership between academic institutions and the federal government.’
We urge the administration to rescind this decision immediately.
