Dear Speaker Johnson, Democratic Leader Jeffries, Majority Leader Thune, Democratic Leader Schumer, Chair Cole, Ranking Member DeLauro, Chair Collins, and Vice Chair Murray:
The 394 undersigned organizations representing patients, scientists, health professionals, academic and research institutions, educators, and industry that support funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), write to thank you for your leadership in support of medical research and to urge you to work together to finalize (FY) 2027 appropriations for NIH as expeditiously as possible.
We are grateful that Congress and the President approved a short-term continuing resolution to ensure uninterrupted government funding, and we urge Congress to continue its bipartisan collaboration to finalize FY 2027 appropriations quickly to avoid the delays and bottlenecks in funding that we have seen in previous fiscal years. We strongly encourage you to prioritize an approach that completes the appropriations process before the end of the calendar year.
