       The #US Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of #Science & #MedicineA quiet policy change means the #government is making fewer bets on long-term science.In the past decade, the #NIH awarded top scientists $9 billion in competitive #grants each year, to find #cures for #diseases & improve #PublicHealth.This year, something unusual happened…Starting in January, the #Trump admin stalled that #funding. By summer, funding lagged by >$2 billion, or 41% below average.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/12/02/upshot/trump-science-funding-cuts.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

       But in a surprising turn, the #NIH began to spend at a breakneck pace & narrow this gap.There was a catch, however: That money went to FEWER grants.Which means less #research was funded in areas such as #aging, #diabetes, #strokes, #cancer & #MentalHealth.#USpol #BrainDrain #Trump #US #government #funding  #Science #Medicine #NIH #grants #cures  #diseases #PublicHealth

       @Nonilex Looks like big pharma will soon need to start paying for research then.
