AMSNY advocates for federal policies on behalf of New York State’s medical schools.

Supporting Robust Investments in the National Institutes of Health

In 2023, NIH funded 6,495 projects in New York State, totaling $3.6 billion; 68% of which supported research at our medical schools. These funds are instrumental in driving both discoveries and economic activity in our state. President Trump has proposed draconian cuts to the NIH budget that would prove devastating to New York State’s biomedical research community.
