With the right support, a life beyond the all-encompassing nature of an eating disorder is possible. To make this a reality, we need faster, more equitable access to high-quality treatment. We need to understand what works for who and the different factors influencing EDs. We need more investment.

6. The policy does not just affect funding going forward. All existing NIH grants will have their indirect rates cut to 15% as of today, the date of issuance. For a large university, this creates a sudden and catastrophic shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars against already budgeted funds.
