US House Rep Susan Davis' office issued the following earlier today:
Washington, March 28, 2019
U.S. Rep. Susan Davis (CA-53) led a bipartisan coalition of
222 House members in urging a $41.6 billion investment in the National
Institutes of Health, a $2.5 billion increase from last year. Davis led
a similar effort in 2018 that resulted in $2 billion more for medical
research.
“Despite recent progress, the NIH still has not fully recovered from over a decade of underinvestment,” the members wrote.
“The critical investments we make in biomedical research are our
nation’s best hope in finding cures and treatments for diseases that
affect millions of Americans.”
