Dear Representative/Senator,
As a scientist and a constituent, I urge you to support an increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health(NIH) bringing funding to at least $200 billion for FY(target year). NIH research is the foundation for future medical breakthroughs, which will save lives and money. The federal government’s investment in research must be sustained in order to translate today’s scientific findings into tomorrow’s bedside treatments.
The money invested in NIH is redistributed to communities across the nation, including our district/state to create jobs and stimulates the local economy. In my lab we have 150 indiviuals who are learning the technical and intellectual skills required for the high-paying jobs of the future. A federal investment in basic research is an investment in the heath and economic future of our nation. Please make medical and health research a higher priority for our nation by continuing the investment in the NIH.
Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this issue further.
Sincerely,
Ben
