Science is collaborative in its nature. Many consortia and alliances in scientific areas exceed boundaries and language barriers. Some laboratories can possibly find additional funds from alternative sources such as the European Union. However, it is unlikely that a continued withdrawal of the NIH financing could be connected through support in overseas. And Big Pharma with his apparently endless funds is also unlikely that according to whom it wirelessly swelled.
“This cannot be passed on to pharmaceutical companies or biotech, since they are not interested in things that are as preclinical as a lot of work that we discuss here” of the fear of retaliation. “Essentially there is a whole legion of university scientists who work hard hard to find out some basic things that finally become something that a drug company can drop $ 100 million.”
The millions of dollars that are awarded to top -class laboratories are used to finance doctoral students, laboratory technicians and analysts. If the main researcher in a research team is not unsuccessful in gaining a grant from the process that the chaste describes, the laboratory is often closed and these members of the secondary team lose their work.
An effect of a NIH -Financing loss, if only temporarily, is a domestic brain outflow of the mass. “Many of these people will go out to find something else,” says the professor of genetics. “These are just like jobs for anything else – we cannot pay people for a month. What would the food service industry look like, for example or grocery stores if you don’t pay anyone for a month? Your workers will go and Pharma can only hire as many people. “
Wired Wured Hörburzel of scientists who are too anxious for their teams and their work to speak in the recording do not take long for the effects to achieve the general population. With a loss of research financing, the closure of hospitals and universities comes. And profits of medical progress will probably also be stalled.
The conditions examined with NIH financial means are not only rare diseases that affect 1 or 2 percent of the population. They are problems such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s expenses that affect your grandmother, friends and so many people who one day fall out of perfect health. This research system and the scientists working on it know that doctors know how to save someone from a heart attack, regulate diabetes, lowers cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of stroke. So the world knows that smoking is not a good idea. “All of this is knowing that scientists who are financed by the NIH have created, and if they throw this big wrench in it, it will absolutely disturb everything,” says the genetics professor.
While some are confident that the financing freezen for the academy could end on February 1, the spoken people with whom are spoken are largely skeptical that the work is simply resumed as before.
