“As we have witnessed during this public health emergency, sustained and increased funding for biomedical and behavioral research is critical to supporting scientific discoveries that promote better health and wellness. The National Institute of Nursing Research is on the frontlines of this work. We thank our nurse scientists who are advancing evidence-based interventions and leading translational research that addresses health equity, social determinants of health, population health, and health promotion.”
“NIH’s investment in biomedical research is crucial to our nation’s capacity to respond to public health crises. The recent emergence of novel infectious diseases such as Covid-19 and Monkeypox emphasizes the critical need for advancements in clinical research and support for the scientific community. This funding further enables the development and advancement of cutting-edge treatments for life-threatening hematologic diseases, including blood cancers and sickle cell disease.”
“Federal funding for human genetics and genomics research is enabling new insights into the structure of, and variation in, the human genome and leading to new discoveries in understanding, preventing, and treating disease. Genomic science can improve human health and advance health equity through the deliberate, meaningful inclusion and participation of individuals from diverse groups in research. Sustained funding increases for NIH are critical to ASHG’s mission that people everywhere realize the benefits of human genetics and genomics research.”
“A bipartisan commitment to robust funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Cancer Institute (NCI) is key to progress. Stable, predictable funding increases for the NIH and NCI accelerate lifesaving discoveries and support high quality care at AACI’s 105 member cancer centers.”
“The groundbreaking medical research supported by the NIH nationwide generates medical discoveries that change the lives of patients, families, and communities everywhere. More than 50% of NIH-funded research takes place at the nation’s medical schools and teaching hospitals, leading to lifesaving vaccines and therapeutics, cures for diseases, and improved patient care. We are proud of the role that NIH and academic medicine play in helping Americans live longer, healthier lives.”
“Thanks to historic Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding increases, scientists are able to work at a more rapid pace to advance the understanding of the disease, explore ways to reduce risk, uncover new biomarkers for early diagnosis and drug targeting, and develop potential treatments. This investment directly empowers researchers to explore new pathways that could yield promising discoveries for the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s. At any given moment, discovery is happening.”
“We are so thankful for the continued Congressional support and commitment to cancer research funding. Federal funding for biomedical and cancer research from the NIH and the NCI is vital to our work at Dana-Farber to advance the science, care, and prevention of cancer for all patients. These investments can lead to transformative discoveries that can save lives. I am proud to once again join my colleagues from across the country as we come together to call on Congress to make funding at the NIH a national priority.”
“Research support provided by the NIH is foundational to America’s biomedical enterprise. As the largest public funder of biomedical research worldwide, the NIH is helping people live longer, making diseases less deadly, and developing an array of preventions and treatments. NIH efforts expand knowledge through basic research that industry can further develop and cultivates the biomedical workforce from early career researchers to academic faculty.”
“A sustained robust investment in evidence-based research and data collection programs at NIH is critical to addressing our nation’s maternal and infant health crisis. These critical investments assist in speeding the development of life-saving treatments for moms and babies. March of Dimes is a proud partner on the ‘Rally for Medical Research Hill Day’ and we look forward to meeting with bipartisan Members of Congress to discuss the importance of maintaining a strong commitment to research to meet current and future public health challenges.”
“Thanks to the transformative research that is funded by NIH, there is real hope on the horizon for improving outcomes and even curing some forms of cancer and other devastating medical conditions. Innovative new treatments are emerging every day. NIH supports research that improves the health of our entire nation, creates jobs, boosts the economy and ensures that America remains a global leader in health innovation.”
“Childhood cancer research uniquely depends on the federal government as its primary source of funding. Thanks to greater awareness and advocacy, the National Cancer Institute has more than doubled its investment in childhood cancer research in recent years. Despite these needed resources, 1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer in the United States will not survive. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is proud to join with the research community to urge Congress to provide additional increases for the National Institutes of Health to fund life-saving research and to develop new, safer therapies for kids with cancer.”
