Yes! My red state with a GOP governor and a GOP dominated legislature has a state university sponsored major biomedical research center that focuses on stuff like diabetes and Alzheimer’s/dementia. It gets zero state dollars and relies 100% on a combination of private donations and NIH grants. This new (it starts tomorrow!) NIH funding cut is going to be devastating. Will the governor get mad? Will the legislature get mad? Will either one of our Republican US Senators get mad?
And from what I’ve read, they’re toying around with the idea of making these NIH cuts retroactive, and thereby telling these research centers to return all the funds they received in the past. Good grief, (1) the money has already been spent, and (2) it’s a state university, it’s not Harvard with a billion dollar endowment. I will be calling the two Senators tomorrow and will be interested to see how they spin this. Both of them have so far voted “yes” on all the cabinet nominations. Will they let their own state get hurt? We’ll see.
