Dear Chair Baldwin, Ranking Member Capito, Chair Aderholt, and Ranking Member DeLauro,
We, the undersigned organizations, are writing to express our strong support for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative and the NIH All of Us Research Program. As Congress completes negotiations on FY 2025 appropriations we respectfully request that you maintain or exceed the total Senate-proposed funding levels of $680.4 million for the BRAIN Initiative and $541 million for the All of Us Research Program for Fiscal Year 2025. Each of these programs is supported by the 21st Century Cures Innovation Fund. With diminishing resources available from the Innovation Fund, it is critical that Congress provide sufficient discretionary appropriations to allow these two groundbreaking programs to continue to make revolutionary advances that can improve brain and overall health outcomes.
