OVERVIEW
 Given the significant role of NIH in supporting health research in
US universities, the Trump Administration’s proposed 20% cuts in
NIH funding may result in :
 Less support for developing life-saving disease treatments.
 Reduced funding options for emerging companies.
 Fewer bioscience jobs.
 In 2016, NIH allocated $24.83 billion -- out of a $32 billion total
budget -- in extramural research grants.
 With $3.7 billion or 15% of NIH extramural grants, California was
the leading recipient of such funding:
 5,067 researchers in 416 California organizations were funded.
 The bulk of the funding supports basic and applied research at non-
profit educational institutions and research hospitals:
 UCSF, Stanford U., UCSD, UCLA and Scripps are the top five California organizations
attracting $578 million, $427 million, $401 million, $381 million, and $214 million of
NIH award funding respectively.
 NIH funding in the form of SBIRs and STTRS supports emerging
bioscience companies:
 In 2016, California attracted one of every five dollars ($176 million out
of $812 million) awarded by the NIH in the form of SBIR or STTR grants.

DEEP CUTS IN NIH FUNDING PUT HEALTH RESEARCH AND
PATIENT WELFARE AT RISK
 The NIH controls more than 50 percent of all funding for health research,
and 85 percent of all funding for health studies in universities.
 The proposed 20% cut in the NIH budget may negatively impact, not just
life-science research throughout California and elsewhere, but also
patients who are waiting for treatments based on this research.
 Numerous studies have documented the direct and indirect benefits of
public funding of medical research to develop life-saving drugs and
extend life expectancy.
 For example, a 2001 National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) study
found that of the 21 drugs with the highest therapeutic impact on society
introduced between 1965 and 1992, 14 resulted from key enabling
discoveries funded by public research.
 According to Dr. Randy Hall, Vice Provost for Research at USC, Public
spending on health research have resulted in health improvement and
increased life expectancy by 10% during the last five decades in the US.
 The social value of increases in longevity and health improvements
totaled $95 trillion between 1970 and 2000, according to Research by the
University of Chicago and NBER.
 Steep cuts in NIH Funding may endanger some of these advances.

BIOSCIENCE JOBS MAY ALSO BE AT RISK
 NIH funding supports bioscience job creation and industry growth
across the country, and California is no different. Cuts in NIH budget
may therefore result in:
 Fewer job opportunities for college graduates and budding PhDs to start
their careers in academia and industry
 NIH-dependent research institutions, such as the USC Keck School of
Medicine in Los Angeles which receives more than 60 percent of its
research funding from competitive NIH grants, are likely to see
significant cuts in research and staffing.
 USC expects 250 researchers to be laid off, if the proposed Trump cuts take
effect.
 These cuts also mean less funding options for bioscience startups
due to expected cuts in SBIR/STTR grant allocations.
 In 2016, 266 California-based emerging bioscience companies were
awarded SBIRs/STTRs totaling $176 million.
 SBIR funding has served as a life boat enabling such emerging companies to
cross the financial “valley of death,” raise capital and grow.
 Cuts in such funding may negatively impact startup growth prospects and
job creation.

On April 4 & 5, 2017, SoCalBio will join other bioscience
trade associations and hundreds of biotech executives to
meet with legislators in the U.S. Congress during the BIO
Legislative Day in Washington, D.C. The mission of this
legislative day is to advocate for sustaining, if not
increasing, NIH funding and educate law-makers about
The Value of Innovation.

ABOUT SOCALBIO
 Southern California Biomedical Council
(SoCalBio) is a nonprofit, member-
supported trade association that serves the
biotech, medtech, IVD and digital health
communities in the six counties that
comprise the Greater Los Angeles region
(Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Santa
Barbara, Riverside and San Bernardino).
 SoCalBio’s programs help local firms gain
access to capital, potential partners and
other business services. The Council also
promotes technology transfer and
workforce training, while informing policy
makers and the public at-large about the
benefits of the region’s bioscience industry.
