    ABRF Members,

     

    We wanted to pass along this recent article that cites a study by the Association of American Universities on the economic impact of NIH research:

    16 States Sue to Restore N.I.H. Funding

    An attorney general in one of those states said the Trump administration was upending "the promise of progress for future generations."

    The source for these numbers is a study funded by the Association of American Universities:

    If ABRF could find a way to measure this type of impact for SRRs, this could be valuable information for Institutional Members and the broader research community. 

    Perhaps we could suggest this idea to the new Task Force on Goal 1 – Communicating the Value and Impact of SRRs.....

     

    I hope this is helpful.

     

    Ken
