Never imagined I’d have to say this, but if you want to have a look at NIH RePORTER to see how much NIH funding your state receives so you can write to your elected representatives, you’d better do it now, and get a screenshot.

watching vital records and info disappear is deeply troubling for many reasons. one among them is that this information is ultimately paid for by citizen taxes and one would think they belong to us (le sigh)
PA. Had to do a double-take. As a cancer survivor living also with a chronic disease—both treated through fairly new protocols—I’m quite certain I’d be dead without NIH-funded research.
Also checking in from Pennsylvania. My sister is here, too, researching drug-resistant bacteria and bacteriophages with ~$1m of that funding. I'm glad you're here with us.
You're welcome! And hey, Mister Rogers was from Pennsylvania. (Latrobe, to be precise.) I think we can all use a little more Mister Rogers in our lives sometimes.
Freezing NIH funding and withdrawing from the WHO isn’t just shameful—it’s deadly. Public health relies on research, collaboration, and preparedness. These actions leave us vulnerable, and lives will be lost. Shadows rise when we abandon the light of progress and care. 🌗✨
It's fun to overlay the spending map with the Congressional map, because it becomes quickly clear that in many states, the districts losing the most funding also sent a Republican to the House, including WA-5, TX-23, and FL-3 (leopards, faces, yadda yadda)
Far right conservative Cdn PM Stephen Harper ordered his staff to throw out research report, maps, and books so that when his corporate oligarch donor owners polluted the land or water there was no frame of reference to show the damage
My salary as a supervisor of OSU's HIV Clinical Trials Unit lab was paid through the NIH. I was co-chair of the AACTG Lab Tech Committee. I'm retired but a lot of my former colleagues across the country as well as in OH will be affected by this.
AI has been leveraged in medicine for a decade by IBM Watson. Yet, we still need scientists to execute the testing and research. AI can analyze, and likely even point researchers in the right direction for new hypothesis. Yet, we need to test the hypothesis in labs and eventually clinical trials.
Colorado. I'm afraid university higher administration will ultimately not have the back of the researchers (and their labs) whom I help with their NIH proposals.
I’m just seeing this and looked up Michigan and already it seems like the website has been updated to reflect less funding. Unless my search restriction were different from yours.
So glad I ran across this before it’s gone. As the parent of a child with disabilities, this will be devastating for research she needs to survive and thrive….
@cleaver.house.gov here is a link to all of the orgs and their FY 24/25 funding in your district. $35M approved funds last year and $2.5M this year. St. Luke's, Children's Mercy, KCU, UMKC, Stowers, and MRI all with less money. Those are science jobs. MO-1 went from $734M to $64M. Missourians lose!
I may be a fool, but is there an easy way to search what specific disease funding may be supporting? For example, the total amount funding ALS related research?
#MTpol MT will lose $59 million, much of it for MT State in Bozeman and lots of cash for Indian Country. Studies cover so many areas. I’m thinking someone who isn’t curious would read the titles, not understand it, and say I don’t know what it is, why are we funding it? The hubris of the GOP.
Do you have a list of private health information orgs like Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, etc. that would be good for us to follow and look toward now that Trump has censored public health? Maybe you could post it and we'll repost to get people trusted, reliable sources?
They treated my mom and a highschool classmate who both passed from cancer a couple years ago. It’s such a good center. Devastating if they lose funding.
I’m sorry about your mom and classmate - lost my grandma this year but Roswell gave me extra years with her that I wouldn’t have had if not for their cutting edge research. Losing the ability to do new studies would be devastating at a global scale
Also searched Tucson aka UofA and printed results as pdf. That saved all projects. Did same for AZ for FY 2024 and 2025. PDFs save all the data unless you can sign in and export the whole dataset
to a GOP representative, increases in unemployment in their district is just a prop for blaming Democrats. They don't actually care about people losing their jobs, and many of those people will be stupid enough to continue to vote maga.
KS declined to expand Medicaid which would have staved off the decline in rural health care & hospital closures. The GOP here will gleefully continue to drag us downward, if that means they get a pat on the head from Trump.
Almost $3B for PA, >$2B of which is in Philly & Pittsburgh.
Which makes me think, maybe they're doing this because a lot of research is in cities, which tend to be "Blue"? So they're trying to destroy the economic backbone of the places that fund the rest of the state?
Hey, just so you know, if there's public data you think needs to get saved, archived, and Torrented, there's a r/datahorder is a community on Reddit somewhere where you want to post to. This type of stuff is in our wheelhouse.

Just not sure it will all be done fast enough.
In Washington state 90% of the funding goes to the reddest districts that just fucked themselves over.
Assume Trump will do the same & worse
Save it now. Outside US
$6,969,834,495
Small state, but uniquely positioned to attract international research.
NIH is funding a lot of projects at a hospital my mom is at, where she's being treated for peritoneal cancer as of last week.
If lack of funding affects my mom's health down the line?
I won't forget.

This impact will be felt in health research, globally.

That's a lot of jobs.
