We live in a time of increased spending, mounting debt, and few remedies for balancing the federal budget that have bipartisan support. Unfortunately, one recent target for decreased allocations of the federal budget is the NIH; the discussion of the awarded grants and the grant funding process has been skewed and altered to present medical research in an unfriendly light, and this can have very damaging repercussions. Politicizing this process could ultimately challenge human health, technology, and economic growth.
我们生活在一个支出增加、债务累积的时代,几乎没有什么两党都支持的方法来平衡联邦预算。不幸的是,最近联邦预算削减的一个目标是 NIH;对已授予的拨款和拨款资助过程的讨论被扭曲和改变,以使医学研究呈现出不友好的一面,这可能会产生非常有害的影响。使这一过程政治化最终可能会挑战人类健康、技术和经济增长。
