What's REALLY happening with research funding?

Will the promise in Alzheimer's therapy be left unrealized?

As a supporter of scientific research, you’re likely worried and alarmed about the recent cuts to federal funding for biomedical research.

We’ve talked at length on the podcast about the extraordinary advances that have occurred in our understanding of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s in recent decades.

But those advances would not have occurred were it not for NIH and NSF funding. It’s been the engine of virtually all of our progress in health and medicine over the past century.

Yet, with these sweeping changes, it seems that the rug is being pulled out just as we’re about to make historic therapeutic breakthroughs for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

But what’s really happening here? Is the future of biomedical research truly in jeopardy? If so, what can we do about it?

On this episode of The Better Brain Fitness podcast, we have two top neuroscience researchers who are directly impacted by these cuts to give us the real story on what’s going on.
