Dear Chair Capito and Ranking Member Baldwin:
On behalf of the Friends of the Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH), we write to thank you for your efforts to keep the federal government funded and to ensure that critical government functions and programs can continue without interruption. As the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) Appropriations subcommittee considers its fiscal year (FY) 2027 funding requests, we urge you to remain firm in your commitment to the health of all Americans by providing no less than $51.303 billion for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and $115.74 million for the ORWH in the Senate Labor-HHS funding bill.
