APTR Urges Swift Passage of House-passed $46.4 Billion for NIH
Wednesday, November 17, 2021
APTR is among 314 organizations and institutions that greatly appreciates how both the House-passed (H.R. 4502) and Senate draft Labor-HHSEducation spending bills include strong increases for the NIH base in FY 2022, which would
provide greater hope and opportunity for every patient awaiting a cure, every researcher
working toward the next breakthrough, and every aspiring scientist considering a career in the
lab.
To maximize the potential of medical research to make rapid progress toward these
goals, APTR urges providing at least $46.4 billion for NIH’s base. Continuing the momentum of the prior six years of bipartisan support for
meaningful funding growth in the NIH’s existing institutes and centers is key to ensuring that the
nation can continue to accelerate the development of life-changing cures, pioneering treatments
and diagnostics, and innovative preventive strategies.
