Statement

Date: July 10, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health and Health Care Government Budget and Spending

"This bipartisan effort will help keep our country's scientific research competitive and will lead to research and innovation that will save lives. San Diego institutions and labs received nearly $400 million in NIH funds last year, and rely on consistent investments to complete their groundbreaking research. I'm hopeful that today's bipartisan bill will bring us closer to increasing the annual NIH budget so that we can stay atop the world in terms of research, development, and discovery."
