Federal funding for US biomedical research is moribund. Since October 1 2025, NIH is -80% in new grants and -70% in values (total dollars). Labs are closing down and researchers are leaving science. To what end?

While you slept last night, BME kept millions of people alive. Pacemakers. Ventilators. Glucose monitors. Pain management systems. Lawmakers need to see what this field delivers 24/7. Share your story: hubs.la/Q03T0qld0 #biomedicalengineering #bme #innovation #healthcare #bmes #PipelineToProgress

The House just passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government through September. Here’s what that means for science funding and what happens next.

For NIH reform: Dig into (and augment) the data published by A.Mirin (J Women's Health 2021) and ask "does it make sense" to any condition that is an outlier in the plot of $$NIH funds/year vs DALY. (Nature later reported on this). Adjust up/down if the answer is "No".
