The #US Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of #Science & #Medicine
A quiet policy change means the #government is making fewer bets on long-term science.
In the past decade, the #NIH awarded top scientists $9 billion in competitive #grants each year, to find #cures for #diseases & improve #PublicHealth.
This year, something unusual happened…
Starting in January, the #Trump admin stalled that #funding. By summer, funding lagged by >$2 billion, or 41% below average.
