Boosting opportunities in underfunded states means more brilliant minds get a shot, not just those in the academic Ivy Towers.

Transparency’s fine, but expanding NIH’s reach just means more bureaucracy, not better science.

This bill's a cautious step—helpful, but only if those IDeA States leverage their new resources effectively.

Turning the NIH into a true nationwide engine of innovation? About time we spread the wealth beyond the usual coastal elites.

Finally, some love for states too long left out of the science party—equity in research funding is overdue.
