increase over time, causing possible loss of contracts, grant reductions or
cancellations, personnel furloughs, reduced access to scientific user

the total number of new 2013 research grants will be reduced by
approximately 1,000. Funding for the medical research programs of the NIH
would be cut by about $1.6 billion.
