It looks like House Republicans want to:

- reduce the number of NIH institutes from 27 to 15.
- reduce billions of dollars in funding for things like biomedical engineering, aging research, and addiction research (almost entirely).
- increase congressional influence over what gets funded.

This is a truly atrocious proposal that will significantly imperil our country's research infrastructure. If you are in the US call your member of congress and tell them to reject the House Committee on Energy and Policy proposal.
