At the Academy's #MedTech25, early career investigators were asked "why is funding your research important?" These are the responses they shared. Funding #imaging research has been, and continues to be, essential to improving patient's lives.

Example comment: I oppose changing Schedule F. It will impact NIH by weakening their scientific leadership & independence, leading to a more politically driven approach to research grants & other NIH functions, potentially undermining the agency's mission of scientific research.

We urge our community to consider commenting on the Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service (proposition to make NIH Institute and Center Directors Schedule F). Find the link below 👇.
