Did you know that if sequestration [1] goes into effect, every state that receives biomedical research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) stands to lose millions of dollars? United for Medical Research has created a map that details how much NIH funding each state stands to lose. We encourage you to find out the impact on your state by clicking here [2]. These figures are important not only because of the devastating impact on local economies, but also the harmful effect it will have on research to find better treatments and a cure for Parkinson's and other diseases.
If Congress fails to act and sequestration goes into effect, the NIH faces up to an 8% budget cut. We need you to tell Congress that the health of our nation cannot bear the burden of these across-the-board cuts!
