Subject: H.R. 623, the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0
Dear Representative Wexton:
On behalf of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of
Neurological Surgeons (CNS), representing more than 4,000 practicing neurosurgeons in the United
States, we write to support your legislation, S. 1521, the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0. We
appreciate and applaud your efforts to expand the available funds to support research on pediatric
diseases and disorders at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). By redirecting penalties collected from
certain health care organizations, this legislation provides a new source of funding for NIH pediatric and
childhood cancer research.
