Universities warn of lag in research, call for more NIH funding

Leading research institutions, including the UW-Madison, have warned that years of stagnant funding are threatening U.S. progress in medical research.

Nine universities – including Johns Hopkins, Harvard and Yale – produced a report for Congress. It says promising research has been halted in midstream due to flat funding from the National Institutes of Health.
