Wisconsin Public Radio Interview with Jo Handelsman on NIH Funding Cuts
Tiny Earth founder Jo Handelsman spoke with Kate Archer Kent on Wisconsin Today about the National Institutes of Health (NIH) directive to cap indirect costs for research at 15 percent. The cuts would affect research efforts, clinical trials, staffing, and the ability to meet federal regulations for safety and security across colleges and universities in the US. On Friday, February 21, a federal judge extended the order blocking NIH grant funding cuts. Handelsman discusses actions citizens can take to encourage policymakers to continue funding necessary indirect costs for basic research and life-saving medical care.
