Seattle NIH money was under attack. Now it’s at a record high

In a surprising turn of events, funding for medical research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has reached record highs despite previous threats. President Donald Trump initially sought to cut NIH funding by 40%, sparking significant concern among researchers and health advocates. However, last week, he signed a budget that not only maintains but increases funding to unprecedented levels. This shift underscores the evolving priorities in health policy and reflects a renewed commitment to advancing medical research and innovation that could benefit countless lives.
