Grant terminations have grabbed the headlines and have seen legal action, but even more damaging to the US research enterprise has been the massive decrease in research grants issued by federal agencies
NIH: -57% in the number of awards and -63% in value compared to FY24
I hope severe budget cuts to @NIH and @theNCI can be avoided to minimize disruption to research progress and a more reasonable budget is passed. Our community needs to plan for US leadership in biomedical research so breakthroughs can help people here and everywhere. @HHSGov
Dear Elon @elonmusk
The real abomination is what has happened to US cancer research funding for 20 years. Happy to share knowledge about that. If America wants to be #1, it won’t happen by defunding cancer research. If you wish to personally fund cancer research, let’s discuss.
Today’s research is tomorrow’s cures for cancer. Glad a RIer is advancing our history of innovation.
Dr. El-Deiry’s right, Trump’s @NIH cuts will have dire consequences.
His $50 billion cancer research plan and reversing cuts will save millions of lives.

President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. https://t.co/FaajkuL7Bf
Massive respect for my institution using its platform to lay bare the real impact of NIH indirect cuts. This isn’t just numbers—it’s research, jobs, and innovation on the line. #FundScience#NIHcuts
As a PI, most of my lab skills have deteriorated. I barely know how to do anything in the lab, but I'm pretty good at multi-factor authentication, paperwork, electronic signatures... I also tell myself that I'm good at thinking about the big picture, whatever that means.
For the first time, we have adjuvant therapy for clear cell #RCC with survival benefit. 38% decrease in risk of death after nephrectomy if treated w/ pembrolizumab. Congrats to investigators and patients/families. Big day for RCC community. #kidneycancer @VUMC_Cancer @VUMCHemOnc
Important question to @NinaSteele17@DebVendramini @HCCvPDAC @PitarresiLab for the new pancreas guy writing his first paper from the lab. Is it PDA or PDAC?????????? This might be the most important thing for the paper, right? Seems you all in the field can’t decide lol
