The ISSCR joined over 450 biomedical research organizations and institutions to urge U.S. congressional appropriators to provide the NIH for Fiscal Year 2026 no less than the $47.2 billion as approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee. This investment would enable the NIH to fund promising research and support the next generation of researchers. NIH-funded research leads to medical breakthroughs, provides hope for patients and families, and advances health.
