How will the Biden administration affect funding for life science research?

The advent of a new administration in Washington often portends major changes in budgeting and spending, and thus it will be in the administration of Joe Biden, if he adheres to the 2020 Democratic Party platform.

But one thing that is not likely to change is the ongoing uptick in funding for research in the life sciences — particularly the funding for the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, and other federal agencies focused on life science research.
