What impact will proposed budget cuts have on biomedical research institutions?

According to Dr. Craig Spencer, the proposed budget cuts will severely impact biomedical research funding, with some institutions projected to lose tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. These cuts will have tangible consequences for staffing, as leaders of these institutions have confided in Dr. Spencer that they will be forced to fire many employees as a result of the funding reductions. The implications extend beyond financial figures to actual job losses in critical research fields, potentially disrupting ongoing medical research programs and public health initiatives.
