Urge Congress to Finish FY26 Appropriations and Protect Research Funding!
Congress is still working to complete the FY26 appropriations process, with current government funding set to expire on January 30. Decisions made in the coming weeks will determine whether NIH and other vital research agencies have the resources they need to advance medical and public health progress, prepare for emerging threats, and sustain U.S. leadership in science and innovation.
By sending the message below, you are urging your members of Congress to pass all remaining FY26 appropriations bills before the deadline and to support the highest possible funding levels for federal research agencies, including NIH, NSF, CDC, BARDA, AHRQ, CDMRP, and others that support lifesaving research nationwide.
Your voice helps reinforce the importance of strong, timely federal investment in research that benefits communities in every state.
