Sujuva terveydenhuollon tutkimus on edellytys uusien hoitomenetelmien kehittämiselle ja julkisten varojen viisaalle käytölle. Nykyinen toisiolaki jarruttaa lääketieteellistä tutkimusta ja hidastaa uusien hoitomenetelmien kehittämistä. Kannatamme hallituksen tuoretta esitystä lain korjaamiseksi!

"Suomen perustuslaissa on turvattu tieteen ja ylimmän opetuksen vapaus."
USA:n tutkimusrahoituksen ehdoilla ei ole vaikutusta tutkimuksen vapauteen yliopistossamme.
Tutkimusrahoituksen hankkiminen on tärkeä väline tieteellisen tutkimuksen toteuttamiseksi. Rahoitusta ei tule hakea hinnalla millä hyvänsä, kuten poistamalla tiettyjä sanoja tutkimussuunnitelmasta.
