Devastating news from the NIH that will see a massive shrinkage of biomedical research in the US. If unchanged will shrink the number of Universities that meaningfully carry our research to those that can backfill unsupported research costs with philanthropy. The Canadian model.

The report from the @ISED Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System is out. https://t.co/kbo4O1zCFL
Lots to like:
1) Strengthen investigator initiated research through granting councils
2) Create a new body (CKSF) to drive strategic science, reduce fragmentation

The $2.5B NIH increase is 2.8X the entire CIHR budget. Total NIH ($47.5B) is 54X the entire CIHR budget - 6X per capita. Canada needs to double tri-council budgets now and build a long term strategy for systematic investments.

The inspiration that led to globules of fat - a thousand times smaller than a dust particle - shielding vaccine payloads and facilitating entry into cells got its start at #UBC 40 years ago.

It continues today in the LSI, in the lab of Dr. Pieter Cullis.
