Though the White House proposed massive cuts to the NIH, Congress ultimately controls its purse strings. And NIH funding is a rare area of bipartisan agreement in a divided Congress.

“Everyone on this committee recognizes the importance of restoring purchasing power to the NIH,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), the ranking member of the House Appropriations health subcommittee, thanking Cole and committee members for their bipartisan work to fund the NIH.
It's a beautiful thing watching people from "both sides of the aisle", being responsible for a healthy future. :thumbsup:

I am reluctant to say 'saved' until it actually goes through all stages.
The fact that certain committees have made positive statements is great.
It's important to keep watching and not assume because of positive statements something is concrete, before it actually is.
