  • In fiscal year 2024, 219 organizations in Massachusetts received approximately $3.46 billion in National Institutes of Health funding to support 5,783 research projects.

The article from MassLive discusses a warning issued by Harvard University regarding potential cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding. Harvard officials have expressed concerns that any reduction in NIH funding could significantly slow down the discovery of new medical treatments. The NIH is a major funder of biomedical research in the U.S., and its budget directly impacts research into diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and infectious diseases. Harvard's statement highlights that with less funding, there would be fewer resources for groundbreaking research, potentially delaying or preventing the development of new therapies and cures. This comes at a time when there is already a push for more research into various health issues, making the potential cuts particularly worrisome for the scientific community and public health.
