Hopkins covers the costs of the front end of this process; what makes this worthwhile is that the federal agencies Iwashyna works with make multiyear commitments. He gave a vivid example of how harmful the recent slowdown in grant-making has been: a Hopkins pulmonologist submitted a proposal to the N.I.H. to test his hypothesis that a widely used device called a pulse oximeter, which clips onto a patient’s finger and measures the oxygen level of the blood, might regularly produce inaccurate readings. This is not a minor question—just about every patient in an intensive-care unit is outfitted with a pulse oximeter. The proposal got an unusually strong score from an expert panel last June, but the Notice of Grant Award still has not arrived. Nationally, N.I.H. grants to universities are down by more than ninety per cent in the current fiscal year; during that time, the National Cancer Institute hasn’t made a single grant.

From public advocate of NYC Jumaane Williams: “repeat after me. We can all be the voice of the people. I don’t know what’s ahead. But I won’t lose hold. And I won’t lose hope. Anything can happen. So anything can happen. And as we march forward. No one let go of anyone’s hand.”
