The Endocrine Society is urging Congress to provide $46.1 billion for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in fiscal year (FY) 2022, an increase of $3.2 billion over FY 2021. Currently, the Congress is beginning to consider funding decisions for FY 2022, so it is critical to let Representatives and Senators know our funding requests now.
Last year, we helped secure a $1.25 billion increase for NIH, continuing a six-year trend of increases to the NIH budget. We are proud of our victories and what they mean for the endocrine research community. If we have learned anything from our past efforts, it is that advocacy matters and that if the research community is vocal about their needs, we can ensure that increased federal funds for research are consistent and sustainable.
It is critical that all members of Congress hear from YOU, their constituents, about the need to provide robust, sustained, and timely funding for NIH in FY 2022 before the end of the fiscal year.
