Coalition for Life Sciences
A unique group of scientists from academia, industry, and philanthropy working to advance policies that promote life science innovation.
- CLS thanks Senator Baldwin @baldwin.senate.gov for championing the provision we requested to limit multi-year awards at NIH!!!!
- In June, CLS predicted that success rates would PLUMMET if NIH implemented multiyear funding. NCI just confirmed. 9% down to 4%!!!! #MathIsntHard
- Today CLS brings attention to a sleeper cell proposal in the President's NIH Budget for FY26: Multi-Year Awards. Read our statement to learn why this "nothing to see here" boring-sounding proposal would actually be DEVASTATING to research. www.coalitionforlifesciences.org/cls-objects-...
- Reposted by Coalition for Life Sciences🚨ATTENTION MOMS🚨 Friday, May 30th at 3pm Meet me outside of the CDC with your pregnant bellies, your babies, your toddlers, your strollers, your signs, and your baby gear. We are standing up for science and vaccines! @standupforscience.bsky.social RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/moms-...
- Today CLS objected to the proposed politicization of staff positions at US Science Agencies, particularly program managers whose expertise is critical to a strong and vibrant innovation ecosystem. #ScheduleF
- Proud to stand with our member @asm.org correcting the record on this LIFESAVING research.
- CLS stormed Capitol Hill Thursday, delivering our message of the terrible consequences from abrupt terminations of grants. www.coalitionforlifesciences.org/cls-calls-on... @needhibhalla.bsky.social @johandelsman.bsky.social

- MAKE NO MISTAKE. When the Administration puts the Drug Addiction and Mental Health Institutes into a Behavioral Health Institute ..... They are classifying addiction and mental illness as moral weaknesses, not neurological conditions. This is going backwards. #MedicalModel

- Need an easy way to understand the Proposed Reorganization of NIH. Here you go! chatgpt.com/s/m_680132c8...
- Abrupt termination of research doesn't stop waste, it CREATES waste! We call on @hhsgov.govmirrors.com to restore the funding without delay! #Cuts2Science
- HHS funded researchers! Head over to LinkedIn and give a recommendation for your program officers, your scientific review officers, your intramural collaborators. It will take you one minute but it could make a difference in their careers. #solidarity
- Please contribute to any and all datasets being compiled! Data is power.
- Honoring Ms Lowey for her decades of support for life sciences. May her memory be a blessing.

- NIH website and all of its subsites are down. NSF and CDC remain up.
- Hearing that many scientists fear speaking out ... for good reason. Health and science reporters, I have a board FULL of life scientists who would be happy to go on the record. Any time, any (science) topic. #Cuts2Science
- Reposted by Coalition for Life SciencesThe large clinical trial of a new Covid vaccine pill (not shot) was halted by RFK Jr www.aol.com/multimillion... The Covid nasal vaccines may be next up to be axed.
- Scientists in training, we need your stories! Post a two minute video … if your program has been cancelled, if your acceptance has been rescinded, if your future is on hold. Tell the world your story. #cuts2science Tag us, tag your member of Congress.
- Our Co-Chair Dr. Jo Handelsman @johandelsman.bsky.social was featured on Wisconsin Public Radio this morning talking about the Administration's recent cuts to Facilities and Administration (aka Indirect) costs. Listen here!
- This is a long but beautiful story of how research on squid 🦑 eventually results in a critical tool for the opioid epidemic: non-addictive pain medicine. We ❤️ science. #basicresearch #researchmatters

- Reposted by Coalition for Life Sciences“We’re fucked.” New @nature.com, @maxkozlov.bsky.social reports on how the Trump admin is exploiting a ‘loophole’ to maintain its freeze on NIH funding despite legal challenges. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
