NIH Cuts: A Push for Efficiency or a Blow to US Healthcare Innovation? - MedCity News
Briefly

President Trump's administration has paused proposed funding cuts to the NIH, while researchers remain concerned about the long-term impact. The cuts, including a cap on indirect costs, could slow down medical research, hinder the development of new treatments, and weaken the U.S.'s position in global healthcare innovation. Experts express that increased reliance on private and nonprofit funding may be necessary for continuity in research. Paradoxically, some anticipate that the chaos could lead to faster grant processes and improved funding efficiency amid funding uncertainties.
