AIBS Signs Amicus Brief Supporting NIH Funding Restoration

AIBS has signed on to an amicus brief, filed by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), and the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB), asking the court to hold recent Executive Orders resulting in termination of grants supporting young scientists as unlawful and to order the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to restore funding speedily as requested in American Public Health Association v. NIH.

The brief argues that NIH’s termination of diversity-focused initiatives violates its statutory mandate to support diversity, which yields critical benefits for research, discovery, and innovation, and that these terminations will imperil the careers of emerging leaders in science, irreparably harm scientific research in the United States, and damage the American economy.
