GOP Remains Silent on Trump’s Alzheimer’s Funding Cuts
The Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Research, dedicated in 2022, received bipartisan support due to its cost-effective approach to combating Alzheimer’s. However, the Trump administration recently slashed funding for the center, resulting in layoffs, including the incoming director. This decision is contrary to the previously expressed support from Republicans, including its namesake, and experts warn of significant setbacks to Alzheimer’s research. The cuts have drawn criticism for their lack of apparent support and potential for widespread opposition.
