Dear Senators Baldwin and Capito:
On behalf of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), representing more than 4,500 practicing neurosurgeons in the United States, we write to urge the subcommittee to provide a significant increase in FY 2025 funding for The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative. Established in 2013 at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the BRAIN Initiative aims to revolutionize our understanding of the human brain. In the decade since its inception, the BRAIN Initiative has shown that it is more than fundamental research. It is fundamental to research.
