Tennessee stands to lose $381 million in funding for medical research and institutions due to proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These cuts would have a devastating impact on Tennessee's economy, jeopardizing thousands of jobs and millions in economic activity generated by medical research institutions across the state. I urge you to outline a clear plan to prevent these cuts from taking effect, as they threaten to shutter research projects, hamper economic growth, and jeopardize the development of new treatments and cures that could save countless lives. The impact of these cuts on Tennessee's medical research capabilities, healthcare sector, and broader economy would be severe, putting the state at a major disadvantage. Maintaining robust federal investment in the NIH is essential to safeguarding scientific progress, public health, and economic vitality.
