While 22 states have sued the Trump Administration to temporarily block a major policy change by the National Institute of Health, there are questions about what would happen to local medical research programs should a judge allow the policy change to proceed.
Temporary halt on federal funding reduction leaves local research programs wondering how they will be impacted‘We’re about land and space’: Proposed development to build nearly 300 homes along Commonwealth Ave. sparks debate
A majority of medical research is funded by the NIH and on Monday, the NIH would have begun reducing federal funding for medical and public health research. After 22 states sued the Trump administration, a federal judge ordered a temporary freeze on the funding cuts until the judge can determine if the cuts are constitutional. Local medical and clinical research programs like the Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research and the University of Florida medical research program are waiting to see what happens next.
While there is currently an array of viruses, diseases, and new medicines being researched across the US, Dr. Koren said cancer is the one disease that requires the most amount of funding. Coincidentally, the night before NIH funding was slated to be slashed, Pharmaceutical company Pfizer aired a commercial during the Superbowl about a boy beating cancer.
The University of Florida has a major medical research program. A university spokesperson released a written statement that said, in part:" “We do a lot of first-in-human trials here. When we get a product that’s a first-in-human product, it’s already been studied for five years or more. So if you shut off that spigot of innovation, then we don’t get those projects. So, it can be an issue for us down the road,” Koren said.
