CF Foundation Responds to NIH Funding Cuts

We oppose the
decision by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to cut the reimbursement rate for indirect costs ([link removed])
-- funding that covers expenses such as equipment and lab space. The rapid implementation and scale of these cuts will significantly hamper research institutions and impede critical scientific advances. The cystic fibrosis story of progress and transformation would not exist as it does today without the NIH and the research it supports. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring the continuation of critical cystic fibrosis research by supporting the CF research community and the NIH.
