REPS. SEND LETTER IN SUPPORT OF $46.1 BILLION TO NIH IN FY22
A bipartisan group of more than 200 House of Representatives members, including several members of the North Carolina delegation, sent a letter to House Appropriations Committee leadership requesting that the NIH receive “at least $46.1 billion” for FY22. The signatories of the letter noted:
"The importance of NIH's work has become more clear than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the research enterprise works to recover from pandemic related disruptions and renew efforts to address the unprecedented scientific opportunity across all disease areas, it is critical that the United States make forward-thinking investments that promote medical breakthroughs, prepare for future pandemics, and sustain our international leadership in biomedical research."
