Neuro Transmissions | How the NIH Funds American Science @neurotransmissions | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 18 hours ago
President Trump’s proposed budget will cut $7 billion in NIH funding - over 20% of the total NIH budget. You might be wondering, where does NIH money go? This week, we heard from scientists across the country about their NIH funded research and why it’s important.

An example calling script:
“Hello, my name is (name) and I’m a constituent of (representative), living in (city) in (zipcode). I’m calling today to voice my concern about the President’s budget proposal. Among many other concerning cuts, this proposal outlines a 5.8 billion dollar cut to the NIH. Funding the NIH is crucial for supporting basic science research in this country - something America has been a leader in for decades - and jeopardizes the future of science and technology for generations. Cutting 20% of the NIH’s budget is absolutely unacceptable. I urge (representative) to advocate against this budget and the cuts that will threaten American science and scientific progress. Thank you for your time”.
