In speaking with those all over the academic landscape, it’s clear that everyone has complaints in how grant finances are managed. PIs are in the dark, admins lack proper tools to manage their work, and central offices have minimal data for decision making. This is solvable- and well worth solving.

Studies show that funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed to 354 of 356 drugs (99.4%) approved by the FDA from 2010 to 2019. Recklessly slashing NIH funding will mean that patients will be waiting much longer for life-saving treatments.
