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:
Congressional Appropriations Committees will soon begin the process of drafting the bills that will fund federal departments, agencies, and programs for fiscal year (FY) 2008. ASH and the biomedical research community continue to advocate for an increase of 6.7 percent for FY 2008 over the final FY 2007 levels, despite a proposed budget form the White House for FY 2008 that includes proposed cuts totaling $310 million for NIH. With a very tight year expected for the entire federal budget, broad congressional support for NIH funding is critical to gain any traction in the budget process.
It is critical that your Senators and Member of Congress hear from you on this important issue. Please e-mail the following letter asking them to supporta 6.7 percent increase for NIH in FY 2008.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact ASH Research Advocacy Manager Tracy Becker at tbecker@hematology.org or (202) 776-0544.
