Join researchers across the country in fighting restrictions on the NIH!
RSVP to a phonebank with other researchers from across the U.S. on Thursday, 1/30 at 3PM, to tell representatives to lift NIH restrictions immediately!
Last week, President Trump’s Executive Branch placed the National Institutes of Health under an unprecedented set of restrictions, including a communications blackout, a travel ban for nearly all employees, and a complete hiring freeze. This means that many NIH grants that fund academic workers’ research are now in limbo. Yesterday, Trump’s administration went a step further and halted all federal grants. Any slowdown in grant funding will have dramatic consequences for scientific research and for the economy.
UAW graduate student workers, postdocs, and other academic researchers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately. Please RSVP using this link.
Join fellow workers from Mount Sinai will be meeting in person in the Atran 5th floor conference room to make phone calls together if you would like to join. Your support is vital in making our voices heard.
In solidarity,
