April 4, 2026STAT, Todd Davenport, ASCO

STAT reports the White House is asking Congress to cut $5 billion from NIH and shrink the number of institutes and centers; Todd Davenport calls the proposed cut shameful.

The White House is asking Congress to cut $5 billion from the National Institutes of Health
downsize the number of institutes and centers from 27 to 22
Another $5 billion cut to NIH in this newly proposed White House budget.
Utterly shameful what they're doing to scientific research and development in this country.
ASCOAdvocacy is concerned that the administration's proposal to cut NIH funding by 12% would stall progress toward cures for cancer.
We urge Congress to reaffirm its bipartisan commitment to research
sustain funding to NIH & TheNCI.
