“The sequester cuts have taken a terrible toll on NIH-funded biomedical research, with 3,100 fewer research grants funded in 2013 than at the institutes' 2004 peak. Were the sequester to continue, the National Cancer Institute would lose approximately $250 million in funding over the next 10 years.”
—Carlos S. Moreno, associate professor at Emory University and a member of the Winship Cancer Institute.
