Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.

But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
Direct Economic Contributions
NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.

Rest is not “doing nothing.” Rest is literally how your body repairs itself. You wouldn’t yell at your phone for needing to be plugged in. You are allowed to recharge your existence.
