Researchers at major universities are starting to look to state governments to help stabilize the science funding ecosystem in the wake of federal funding cuts. Although states can bridge funding gaps and address more community-based needs, they will not be able to fully replace all that was lost at the federal level.
Congress just rejected the most severe research cuts advanced by the Trump administration earlier this month. This is a huge win, and we want to continue this momentum. Your organization can sign the Friends of AHRQ letter urging Congress to fully fund and staff AHRQ in 2027. The letter is open to sign until February 27.
