Urge Congress to Finalize FY 2025 NIH Appropriations Before Funding Expires

Now, more than ever, it is vital for us to ensure that scientific agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) receive robust and consistent funding. To do this, we ask you to urge Congress to pass the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 budget before the end of the year. The current stop-gap funding measure, known as a continuing resolution (CR), will expire on December 20, 2024. It is essential that Congress comes together in a bipartisan manner to finalize FY 2025 appropriations rather than continuing to extend the CR into 2025, ensuring that federal agencies like the NIH receive the necessary resources to continue supporting scientific research in human genetics, genomics, and beyond. Take action now to encourage your members of Congress to finalize FY 2025 as soon as possible and provide no less than the Senate Appropriations Committee-approved level of $48.9 billion for NIH, in addition to funding for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).
