The US federal spending cuts imposed by the so-called sequester have made a brutal dent in research spending: the country's National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Science Foundation are among the agencies that must shed roughly 5% of their budgets this year. That's bad news for research on global killers such as cancer and HIV/AIDS, but the prospects are perhaps even bleaker for fields that are already underfunded, such as research into tuberculosis.
