The House Appropriations Committee recently released their draft of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies spending bill. The draft legislation avoids cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and provides flat funding, while proposing considerable structural changes to the agency. Additionally, the spending bill includes significant budget cuts to other scientific research agencies including the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the elimination of the Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality (AHRQ). Your representatives in the House and Senate need to hear from you that cutting research funding is counterproductive to the health, security, and prosperity of the American people and the global community. Weighing in now can make a concrete difference in Congressional decision-making that affects the future of medical and public health progress.
