Government-funded research has been a critical component of finding solutions to curb overdoses, lower infectious disease rates, and prevent and treat substance use disorders.
Millions of dollars dedicated to studying and implementing health solutions are at risk or have already been cut.
The current administration is slashing funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s largest funder of medical research and the funding source for 85% of drug research worldwide.
At the Drug Policy Alliance, we know that researchers want to get involved and fight back but may not know where to start. To support researchers, we made a toolkit that highlights stories of the vital, lifesaving studies of drug researchers whose funding has been cut and offers guidance to researchers on how they can fight back against funding cuts.
