Campaign Unavailable
We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit ASH Grassroots Network.The short explanation of this alert was:
Congress is not planning on completing its work on Fiscal Year 2009 funding legislation for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) because of the shortened congressional schedule due to the November elections. Instead, Members of Congress are currently drafting a Continuing Resolution (CR), which will continue NIH funding at this year's level through early FY 2009.
Providing only this year's funding through the first quarter of 2009 will be detrimental to the NIH. It is critical that the hightest funding level for NIH prevail in the funding legislation.
Please take a moment to send the e-mail below to your Senators and Representative urging them to support the highest possible funding in the CR. If you have questions, please contact ASH Research Advocacy Manager Tracy Roades at 202-776-0544 or troades@hematology.org.
