Save University Medical Research and Patient Treatment from Chopping Block
The proposal to put a 15% cap on indirect funds for NIH grants to research universities will have devastating effects on universities that are doing outstanding work to improve medical treatments for patients with cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and many devastating diseases.
This cap, will in essence, cripple the ability for these universities to proceed with research to improve patient treatment and will likely also directly affect their ability to even treat patients at their facilities.
Please reverse this proposal to put a cap on indirect funds for NIH grants to research universities so the U.S. can remain a leader in developing innovative treatments to save and improve the lives of millions of patients.

Why is this important?
Research universities are leading the way to do important research to improve medical treatments for serious diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and many other debilitating and life-threatening illnesses.
Significantly reducing NIH grant funding to research universities will cripple their ability to do their research to improve treatments and to even treat patients that get referred to them from their primary care doctors.
We need healthcare in the U.S. to be top-level. This funding cut will cripple the U.S. healthcare system to provide quality care for patients.
