I am so honored to receive the @ASCO Advocate of the Year award. Engaging with advocacy is such an important way to support our patients. #ASCOAdvocacySummit
“If we're not advocating…fighting against #drugshortages & for NCI funding & the CONNECT for Health Act, others are advocating the other direction...What you're doing here really matters,” Advocate of the Year @lymphoma_doc. Congrats! #ASCOAdvocacySummit

This will slow the search for new ways to fight cancer, and will cause deep cuts in research efforts. Other nations will take advantage of this terrible decision if 🇺🇸research falters.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
