米国予算案の不成立による生命科学系政府機関への影響まとめ

(更新：2013/10/07 14:00)

まとめ

  • オバマ政権の医療保険改革法をめぐって10月からの新年度予算案が成立しなかった場合，その予算案が与野党で合意に至るまでのあいだ，一部政府機関が閉鎖される可能性がある
  • 対象となる一部政府機関にはNIHやNSF，CDC，NASAなどの科学技術に関わる機関が含まれている
  • 国防や治安，医療に関わる一部の活動は限定的に継続されるが，多くの職員は一時帰休/無給休暇(FURLOUGH)になり，様々な活動に影響が出る見込み

日本の科学者が気をつけるべきこと

主要ジャーナルによる報道

Most government scientists were ordered to stay at home, their offices and labs closed or run by a skeleton staff of ‘essential’ workers. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) stopped processing grants, some government websites were made inaccessible and many important research programmes were left hanging, potentially putting lives at risk in the case of some disease studies.
