AANEM Joins National Coalition in Support of Timely NIH Funding

AANEM has joined 393 other organizations in calling on Congress to finalize robust, bipartisan funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for fiscal year 2027.

In an October 22 letter organized by the Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research, AANEM and organizations representing patients, health professionals, scientists, academic institutions, educators, and industry urged congressional leaders to complete the FY 2027 appropriations process as quickly as possible, preferably before the end of the calendar year.

The coalition emphasized that predictable NIH funding is critical to sustaining medical research. Delays in federal appropriations can hinder NIH's ability to award grants, postpone clinical studies and scientific research, create uncertainty for researchers and trainees, and ultimately delay the development of new diagnostics, treatments, and preventive strategies.

By signing the letter, AANEM continues its support for federal investment in medical research and for policies that promote continued scientific discovery and progress for patients.
