ACT for NIH

Our mission is to make increasing biomedical research funding a national priority.

[ACT for NIH @ACTforNIH]

Multi-year funding is quietly reshaping the NIH research portfolio — and not for the better.

ACT for NIH’s updated one-pager breaks down what's happening, what the FY27 President’s Budget proposes, and what Congress must maintain in the FY27 L/HHS bill.

All made possible by NIH funding!

A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers.

Pancreatic cancer is often found too late. @NIH- and @theNCI-supported research identified a four-marker blood panel with potential to detect it earlier. A great example of public investment in biomedical research that improves survival and offers hope. https://t.co/eOEsZTRlq6

@NIH-funded research saves lives, strengthens communities, and fuels America’s leadership in science.

That’s why we applaud the FY26 Labor-HHS bill and its strong NIH funding and why UMR is joining @UnitedforCures1's Day of Action to urge Congress to pass this legislation and increase funding for medical research.

ICYMI: In a world-first, a team of researchers from NIH & @EmoryMedicine performed a coronary artery bypass without cutting the chest wall.

This method could offer a safer, less traumatic alternative to open-heart surgery. 🫀
