Medical Research Funding

We live in a time of extraordinary and historic opportunity in medical research, and we need to lend support to research institutions, hospitals and education systems so they can forge a path to revolutionary treatments, disease management and eventual cures. As an advocate for healthcare progress, I have long been a strong supporter of efforts to increase the budget of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I supported efforts to double the budget of the NIH, and I believe that we must ensure that the NIH has adequate resources to engage in research.
