The Chamber calls on New York’s Congressional delegation to fight NIH cuts
March 6, 2025
The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, together with the Business Council of New York State and more than a dozen other business organizations, sent a letter pressing the state's congressional delegation to push back against proposed cuts to National Institutes of Health grants — arguing it would be detrimental to New York communities.
We urged the state's 26 representatives to fight cutting the NIH grants, which provides more than $3.5 billion to more than 250 entities across the state for some of the nation's leading biomedical, cancer and other health care research.
