Life-saving research is already being shut down — and now Trump is pushing for even deeper cuts.
Month after month of funding freezes and earlier cuts have already halted studies and disrupted labs. Now the Trump administration is pushing to slash National Institutes of Health funding by up to 20%. This is an escalation.
Clinical trials have been paused. Researchers have lost funding mid-project. Labs have scaled back or closed. Promising treatments — including cancer and Alzheimer’s research — have been delayed or abandoned. These new cuts threaten to make the damage permanent.
Tell Congress: Restore NIH funding now and reverse these cuts before more research is lost.
This is about who lives — and who dies — as treatments are delayed.
If more research is frozen, more cures will be delayed or disappear. Patients will wait longer for treatments. Breakthroughs will be lost. And some people will not survive the wait.
Congress has the power to act. Lawmakers control NIH funding. They can reverse these cuts, restart halted research, and protect the breakthroughs millions of Americans are counting on — if enough of us demand action now.
Major medical advancements — from cancer therapies to vaccines — depend on NIH funding. Cutting it again puts countless lives at risk.
Thanks for everything you do.
