The President’s reduction of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding has significant economic implications for Michigan’s research sector. Funds that support critical infrastructure and administrative services are now slashed, putting research programs and innovation at risk. This cut could slow economic growth driven by medical and scientific discoveries, potentially leading to job losses in the sector and reduced investment in research. For Michiganders, this could mean fewer medical advancements, lost jobs and diminished access to groundbreaking treatments that could save lives.
