I spent most of my adult life working under some sort of NIH funding, with a couple of instances where some private foundation funding was the substitute. But the big science that has been so productive over the past several decades comes from the NIH and NSF. I suppose everyone is hoping or expecting that the cuts will eventually be rescinded, but even moderate cuts will be disasters to some line of inquiry.

Yes. The NIH is actually one of the few government agency that would actually pass even the most ridiculous DOGE audits.

That’s why I think they’ve decided to starve it rather than take it on directly.
