Jeroen Bosman<p>Science, researchers and research communities increasingly need to be resilient to threats and actual incursions relating to budget, academic freedom, safety in the public arena, availability of science databases and infrastructures and more. We created this framework to inspire communities in their resilience. It is quite generic, so needs to be customised to specific contexts and threats. <a href="https://akademienl.social/tags/safeguardingresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>safeguardingresearch</span></a> <a href="https://akademienl.social/tags/defendresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>defendresearch</span></a> <a href="https://akademienl.social/tags/resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resilience</span></a> <a href="https://akademienl.social/tags/academicfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academicfreedom</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://akademienl.social/@RShetty" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>RShetty</span></a></span></p>

Even using the lower value in calculations, the lost health from the NIH cuts translates into more than $8.2 trillion ($100 000 × 82 million years). These losses would be weighed against the gains that emerge from reduced public spending. Over 25 years, the proposed annual savings of $20 billion amounts to $500 billion in budgetary reductions.
