Research Community Strongly Opposes Proposed Cuts to NIH

A coalition of 90+ research and patient organizations, including American Medical Informatics Association, opposes the FY 2027 budget proposal cutting the National Institutes of Health by over 12%. The letter warns cuts would halt research, eliminate jobs, and weaken U.S. innovation, urging Congress to fund NIH at $51.3 billion and reject restructuring and policy changes that destabilize research.
