ASH Patient Advocacy Alert: Help Protect Medical Research Funding

Funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is in serious jeopardy. As the American Society of Hematology (ASH) explains:

“After years of flat funding, NIH’s inflation-adjusted budget is close to 20 percent lower today than in FY2003, and, if the scheduled across-the-board cuts (known as sequestration) go into effect January 2, 2013, NIH will be subject to an 8.4 percent further cut. Thousands of NIH grants could be eliminated and cutting-edge research on blood and other diseases will be stifled.”

ASH has organized a special patient advocacy campaign so that patients can quickly and easily send a letter to their members of Congress about about the impact that inadequate funding has on the development of cures and treatments for serious diseases.
