We are passionate about research in the pathobiology, prevention, and novel therapeutic development in cancers that affect women.

[Nik Joshi @Joshilabyale]

Without NIH funds to run research labs at academic institutions, as a country we cannot train PhD students. No physician scientists. No undergraduates get experience in labs. Nothing.
Industry does none of these things.
Other countries will have to take the lead.

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

The NIH helped develop polio vaccines, map the human genome, advanced cancer and therapy and has produced 104 Nobel Prize winners.

This is what's being attacked?

[Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance @ocrahope]

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a new policy for indirect cost reimbursement for research grants that could threaten to have a devastating impact on cancer research in the country. Urge the President to keep cancer research a priority: https://t.co/ZfAfIMmNEj

[FASEB @FASEBorg]

🚨 FASEB urges the administration to immediately rescind the February 7 announcement imposing a 15% rate on F&A costs for @NIH-funded research grants. This drastic approach threatens life-saving research, healthcare, and the future of science. Read our statement here: https://t.co/BUVpItE51E

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018.

[St. Jude Research @StJudeResearch]

Cuts in NIH research grants will have a lasting negative impact on science and medicine in the U.S. Grants will continue to fund specific research costs, but essential infrastructure like labs, advanced equipment and support staff are crucial for groundbreaking work.

Science is under threat.

Please urge your U.S. Representatives to sign on to the Dear Colleague letter urging $50M in funding for the Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) for Fiscal Year 2025. The OCRP is the only federal research program dedicated to #ovariancancer. Act now: https://t.co/5rwKp1SCYv.

[Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance @ocrahope]

OCRA's four Collaborative Research Development Grants, including a partnership grant through Microsoft AI for Health (@MSFTResearch), are multi-investigator studies set to tackle the most pressing issues in #ovariancancer research, treatment and care: https://t.co/3msT7HEEvQ.

So proud of our research team and thankful for the support of the @ocrahope

[Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance @ocrahope]

OCRA made a $9.2M investment in 2023 into research initiatives for 2024 — the largest in our history — including awarding 20 grants to scientists at 15 institutions. We're grateful for their research into ovarian & related #gynecologiccancers, and for our community’s support.
