Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬Pace of #NIH Funding Slows Further in Trump’s Second Year
Spending on new #medical #research fell roughly $1 billion behind pace of years past, delaying thousands of scientific projects and raising concerns within agency that it may struggle to pay out money it was allotted by Congress.
NIH awarded only about 1900 new and competitive grants from October to late March, less than half the number it tended to give out by that point in the fiscal year.
