I hope for a paradigm shift at the #NIH to increase support for clinical surgical research. Currently, only 1% of NIH grant funding is allocated to surgical research. See below @NIH
@RobertKennedyJr @MartyMakary @DrJBhattacharya @NIHDirector @AmCollSurgeons
@AcademicSurgery
~30% of global burden of diseases require surgery ~15% of hospitalizations result in surgery ~100 million surgeries in 🇺🇸 per year Support by @NIH to fund surgical clinical research? ONLY 1% of #NIH budget! @RobertKennedyJr @MartyMakary @JDVance @DrJBhattacharya @NIHDirector
