Call your Member of Congress to urge them to include NIH
Funding in the Economic Stimulus Package

January 13, 2009

Representatives Susan Davis (D-CA) and Brian Bilbray (R-CA) have drafted a letter to President-Elect Obama in support of including NIH funding in the economic stimulus package and are asking their colleagues to sign on to it. This letter requests significant new funding for the NIH and is an important opportunity toward reversing the flat funding for biomedical research. Your voice is critical. Please call your Representative and urge them to sign the Davis/Bilbray letter to President-Elect Obama.
