Tell Your Elected Officials that Medical Research Saves Lives 📧

Congress has passed important legislation that rejects proposed cuts to lifesaving medical research. By supporting the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Congress has reaffirmed a commitment to developing cures that will provide health and hope for families and patients. We can’t let up; Congress needs to continue to support the innovative research of the NIH.

NIH awards more than 60,000 research and training grants each year, supporting close to 300,000 researchers from every state in America. The work of these scientists touches millions of patients – including you. In short, NIH funding saves lives and fuels our economy.

Your federal lawmakers are already working on federal appropriations for next year and it’s important that they hear from you about how important it is for them to continue supporting NIH research.
