The Research Investment to Spark the Economy (RISE) Act has been introduced in both the House (H.R.869) and Senate (S.289). This crucial legislation authorizes approximately $25 billion for NIH and our nation’s other research agencies to use in addressing research funding gaps created by COVID-19. Urge your Members of Congress to champion the resources needed to shore up our pandemic-weakened research capacity by signing on as a cosponsor (and thanking them if they already have). The more Members who sign on, the more momentum will grow for research relief!
