Senator Tammy Baldwin Challenges NIH Forward Funding Policy with Dr. Bhattachary

Published | Video Starts at 00:16

Thank you. As I said in my opening comments, I've been raising the alarm now for months about NIH grant making being significantly behind its normal pace. This year NIH has awarded nearly $3 billion less compared to the same period last year. That's at least 3,288 fewer grants. So, Dr. Bhattacharya, I want to know who is withholding this funding? Is it you? Is it doge, Is it omb? Who is making those decisions? (00:16–00:24)

CLAIM

Asserts that NIH funding is significantly reduced this year compared to last year.
