For Immediate Release

February 10, 2025

"The Trump administration’s move to cut billions of dollars in National Institutes of Health funding that support research institutions is a direct attack on life-saving medical research and the science that makes these breakthroughs possible. Research to address afflictions such as cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease will be slowed and potentially halted by this action.

"Researchers at SUNY campuses statewide will be hit hard by this dangerous step, which will have long-lasting and catastrophic consequences. As the nation’s largest higher education union, United University Professions will do all it can to reverse this imprudent, harmful order."
