They found that if the NIH budget had been 40% smaller from 1980 to 2007 (the level of NIH cuts currently being proposed), “the science underlying numerous drugs approved in the 21st century would not have been funded.” The findings suggest “massive cuts of the kind that are being contemplated right now could endanger the intellectual foundations of the drugs of tomorrow,” explains Professor Pierre Azoulay.
