![Phone script for calling AG's: Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a researcher at [Your institution]. I am calling to express my urgent concern regarding the recent policy change by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to cut indirect cost funding for research grants. This change, which caps indirect costs at 15%, poses a direct threat to the sustainability of our research operations and the vital services that support them. These cuts will not only harm scientific progress but also jeopardize jobs and economic stability in [Your State], as many of our universities and healthcare institutions are among the largest employers in the state.
The reduction in funding will significantly impact ongoing clinical trials, delay breakthroughs in medical treatments, and slow down critical research on issues ranging from cancer treatment to climate change.
I strongly urge the Attorney General to join the 22 other states that are suing the NIH to block these cuts. The future of scientific research and patient care depends on this action. Your leadership is essential to protect [Your State’s] research community and the broader public interest.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your attention to this critical issue.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3sixvwevdrezxgqc7hsiwkdu/bafkreibcbylivhae5h4s6zo2v2st37nwbc4ljbtf3aiy4gtawfduhnx3em)
