Today in Albany, we made the case to dozens of state legislators and staff for investing in NY science through the Empire State Biomedical Research proposal. #FundNYScience

Check out this highlight from @samhegde2006 @IcahnMountSinai at our Statewide Town Hall for research funding: "When science funding is disrupted, it doesn’t just slow down discovery, it also cuts short promising careers, with rippling effects on society and healthcare. We actually have a real opportunity right now to change the narrative, right here in NY."

"@GovKathyHochul's Emerging Technology Advisory Board released a major report earlier this month - its first recommendation to the Governor? ""Launch a new Empire State research excellence fund to invest in basic and translational research""
We agree - it's time to invest in New York's scientific future #EBRI
New York’s own Emerging Technology Advisory Board just released a major report—and its recommendations directly align with the EBRI proposal. If we want NY to lead in biotech, research, jobs, and innovation, this is the moment to show we share their vision and sign the petition >>> c.org/nDnRNSsVcq
Dive deeper and read the full Emerging Technology Advisory Board report here: michaeljfox.org/sites/defaul…
and the “preprint” of the EBRI proposal here: amsny.org/advocacy/state-adv…
Both lay out a strong, evidence-driven roadmap for how New York can lead in biomedicine for decades to come.
And this is just the beginning. Once the EBRI concept is included for consideration in the FY27 budget, the proposal will be expanded into a comprehensive statewide plan. For opportunities to help shape what is included during the “revise and resubmit” phase, join the NY-CURES coalition > nycures.org

We’re calling on @GovKathyHochul to invest in the Empire Biomedical Research Institute—because a robust, stable research ecosystem protects jobs, fuels innovation, and
strengthens community health statewide. New York must invest in our continued global leadership in science.

"The lack of stable funding this year cut my department in half, leaving an empty space that reminds us how quickly life-changing research can disappear." -Natalia, Postdoctoral Research Scientist @Columbia

"Deep and widespread cuts planned in the coming weeks by the administration of The New School in New York to fill a $48 million budget hole has spurred @UAW7902 members and others at the university into open rebellion."
Sign-on to the letter urging The New School administrators to STOP THE CUTS!

Today, we joined forces with @rocsuaw and @SSWUAW —along with hundreds of researchers nationwide—to tell our elected representatives we need the NIH restrictions lifted now. Critical medical research can’t wait! #UnionStrong
UAW 4811 members joined hundreds of other researchers today to demand an end to Federal funding freezes. Together we called on our representatives to maintain federal funding in critical research areas like cancer, heart disease and diabetes research.
