Academic scientists structure their lives around the NIH grant cycle. Gaps in funding for graduate students and postdocs can mean that people who we've invested years of public money into training to become biomedical researchers will have to leave the field. Some people may have to close productive labs. Research into life changing treatments and the basic knowledge that will drive the next generation of these treatments will be delayed or halted. Some scientists will likely consider moving their labs to countries with more stable funding environments.
