Alzheimer’s research budget would increases by $300 Million if today’s proposed bill is approved.<\/p>\n

Please contact your Congressional representatives and ask them to support this increase which would be the largest in history for Alzheimer’s. Use this link<\/a> to find your Representative<\/a><\/p>\n

Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is extremely happy with the House Appropriations Subcommittee bill for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that was released today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bill, medicine<\/a> which still has to be approved by the Committee and full House, includes a $1.1 billion increase for NIH, a more than 25% increase for the National Institute on Aging (which funds more than 70% of the Alzheimer’s disease research at NIH), and calls for an additional $300 million of that increase to be used for Alzheimer’s disease research.<\/p>\n

The call for an additional $300 million would be a significant increase in funding for Alzheimer’s disease research and show a continuing commitment, even within continuing tight budgets, to find additional resources for Alzheimer’s disease research.<\/p>\n

The additional funding is a big step in the right direction of getting to the $2 billion a year in research funding experts have said is necessary to meet the 2025 goal of stopping Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\n

We will continue to work with Congress and the Administration to reach that $2 billion goal as fast as possible.<\/p>\n

The work of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on this bill has made that goal a lot closer and we applaud them for their efforts and their demonstrated commitment to Alzheimer’s disease research funding.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
