We hope you will take a few minutes to call your members of Congress and urge them to protect their previous investments in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in fiscal year (FY) 2026.
The current continuing resolution (CR) that reopened the government funds NIH and NIA at FY 2025 funding levels through January 30, 2026. Now is the time to make your voice heard by your legislators about the issues that you care deeply about, such as aging research at NIH and NIA that is crucial to increasing healthspan and improving clinical care for all of us as we age. The ongoing shifts and disruptions significantly impact the Institutes’ efficacy, putting decades of progress at risk in biomedical research.
Elected officials care about what their constituents have to say – the more of us call about issues related to the care of older adults, the more powerful we are.
