Increases to agencies such as NSF, NIH, NIST and DOE’s Office of Science – including critical biomedical funding for ARPA-H – are imperative to meet the myriad of challenges we face nationally and globally. We thank lawmakers for their continued support of U.S. research. There is still much work to do, and we must not lose momentum.
