Call your senators about restoring NIH jobs & funding!

We’re asking all public health supporters to call their senators to ask them to restore the NIH jobs and funding that have been cut. You can use the scripts about NIH cuts from the organization “5Calls” to help you find your senators and representative and tell them to oppose the recent devastating cuts to NIH funding and staffing. These actions are disrupting research for many diseases cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimers.

From the 5Calls page on this topic:

“The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the largest sponsor of biomedical research in the world, driving essential innovations in disease detection and treatment. From 2010-2019, 99.4% of new drugs approved by the Food & Drug Administration were developed with NIH funding support. In 2024 alone, the NIH’s funding supported over 400,000 jobs across every state and generated $94.58 billion in national economic activity, for a return on investment of $2.56 for every $1 of NIH research funding spent.”
