NIH funding is central to the research enterprise, providing critical support for neuroscience research across the country and here at UM-MIND. What are the effects of federal budget cuts to neuroscience research? Learn more in the infographic below and share with your community. #NIHSavesLives

infographic on the effects of federal budget cuts on neuroscience research, showing graphics depicting the following points: 1) up to 1 in 4 Americans live with chronic pain; 2) 1 in 36 children in the US live with autism spectrum disorder; 3) NIH drives therapeutic research & development in the US; 99.7% of FDA-approved products originated with NIH funding; 84% of medical patents originated with NIH funding; 4) nearly 1 in 5 young adults in the US live with depression

infographic on the effects of federal budget cuts on neuroscience research, showing graphics depicting the following points: 1) 6.7 million adults in the US live with Alzheimer's disease; 2) 5.5 million Americans live with traumatic brain injury related disabilities; 3) NIH is a critical developer of therapeutics and medications for the brain. Investments through the NIH BRAIN Initiative, individual research grants, and training programs are key to developing lifesaving therapies and to reducing disease burden. Removing NIH funding will stop this progress! NIH supports research in all 50 states; over 80% of NIH's budget supports research at universities across the US.
