I'll be teaching system dynamics for two days in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, May 31-Jun 1, thanks to Amhara Public Health Institute for organizing and to World Health Organization (WHO) for their partnership. Looking forward to working w. researchers/gov't colleagues and building new partnerships in the region!

New paper: Overdose death spikes aren’t all the same; local patterns matter. In MA, some are driven by cocaine, others by stimulants or fentanyl. What’s behind a spike shifts by county, underscoring the need for local response strategies bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/2/e0… BMJPublicHealth

Fewer discoveries. Fewer scientists. Higher health costs. New in JAMA Health Forum: Proposed NIH cuts aren’t just a budget move; they could reshape how science happens in the US. We mapped the ripple effects: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-… Zeynep Hasgul JAMA Health Forum

Deep Cuts to NIH Funding Would Raise Long-term Health Care Costs ift.tt/chlDuv9

As the Trump administration proposes a 40% reduction to the National Institutes of Health budget for 2026, a new analysis warns that these cuts could undermine scientific progress, weaken the biomedical workforce, and raise long-term health care costs jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

Initial analyses of the Trump administration’s proposed NIH cuts neglect key aspects of their long-term economic and health impact, study says. trib.al/caRqxJW

"Results of this qualitative analysis using systems modeling suggest that NIH budget reductions may have far-reaching implications for scientific progress, the biomedical innovation environment, and health care costs." jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-… #research #science JAMA

Potential effects of cuts to the NIH 1) slow future innovations 2) shrink the future biomedical workforce 3) increased health care expenditures 4) missed opportunities for disease prevention, further increasing health care expenditures. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

NIH BUDGET CUTS: The proposed budget cuts by the White House to the NIH will have far reaching implications for public health- Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD working on budget negotiations with Congress this summer jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

This analysis in STAT lays out how the proposed NIH budget cuts will actually waste more funds than they save & hurt science and medical progress statnews.com/2025/07/28/nih…

"Reducing NIH budget doesn’t just mean fewer grants; it means fewer trainees entering the pipeline, slower progress on treatments, more reliance on expensive late-stage care and weakened capacity for public health." politi.co/454nFpy via POLITICO jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

What happens when research funding gets cut (not just a little, but a lot)? Try our simulator to find out. Our model BRIDGE quantifies the impact of NIH budget cuts in the US, built on 47 datasets (1995-2024) and projecting effects over 25 years. mj-lab.mgh.harvard.edu/nih-budget-sim…

The sad irony: funders want to include community members with no grant-writing background, but their applications are so demanding that even seasoned applicants struggle

Proposed cuts to NIH funding would have ripple effects on research that could hamper the US for decades theconversation.com/proposed-cuts-…

Delighted to welcome Dr. Songul Cinaroglu, Associate Professor of Health Care Management at Hacettepe University in Turkey, to our lab this year as a Fulbright Visiting Scholar.

Our research shows that while cutting NIH funding may appear to save money in the short term, it can trigger a chain of effects that increase long-term healthcare costs and slow the development of new treatments and public health solutions. f-st.co/ADSzj5A
