Ask Congress to secure the highest funding level possible for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Fiscal Year 2010 (FY 2010)!
Congress is working to finalize appropriations as the beginning of the fiscal year was October 1. Send a message to you Members of Congress TODAY!
The House of Representatives approved $31.3 billion for NIH, a 3.1% increase over FY 2009, while the Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended $30.8 billion. As Congress negotiates the final appropriations we urge you to ask your Senators and Representative to support the higher funding level of $31.3 billion for NIH.
Increased research funding at NIH will lead to discoveries of new ways to prevent, treat and cure diseases like osteoporosis. Investing in NIH supports life-enhancing research and saves lives. It also contributes to a more dynamic domestic economy invigorated by biomedical investment!
