The ISSCR Urges Appropriations Leaders to Swiftly Pass a Final FY 2023 Labor-HHS-Education Spending Bill
The ISSCR joined with 283 members of the Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research to urge U.S. House and Senate members to swiftly finalize a fiscal year (FY) 2023 spending package that prioritizes robust investments in agencies and programs that improve the nation’s health and well-being, including funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research is a coalition of patient and voluntary health groups, medical and scientific societies, academic and research organizations, and industry, dedicated to enhancing the federal investment in biomedical, behavioral, social, and population-based research supported by the NIH. To maximize the potential of tomorrow’s research discoveries to make rapid progress toward these goals, the letter urged leaders to provide at least the House Appropriations Committee-passed $47.5 billion for NIH’s base.
