From 2003 to 2012, United States investments towards the National Institutes of Health didn’t even keep up with inflation. The result was a 22 percent decline in real purchasing power in a single decade. Ten years ago, 30 percent of qualified NIH grant proposals were funded. Today it’s down to 15% – the lowest rate in history. I believe in #medprogressnow, which is why I introduced the American Cures Act. This bill would help preserve America’s global leadership in innovation and discovery by investing in breakthrough biomedical research, and by making that funding more predictable and less political.
