By providing a $ 3 billion funding increase for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for fiscal year (FY) 2018 — the biggest NIH funding increase in 15 years — Congress has taken
bold action to regain
much - needed momentum in cancer research following a decade of stagnant funding for the NIH.
I think maybe the best - case scenario in terms of what this is going to look like is that progressives do a
much better job of connecting the dots between climate change, economic inequality, a shredded safety net, a political program that has waged decades of war not only on the idea of
bold climate
action but on the idea of investing in a serious way in the public sphere, really connecting the dots.
