THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP FOR RESEARCH
To everyone who contacted their representatives, shared why research matters, and stood up for federal biomedical research funding: thank you.
Thank you for being part of #SaveOurCures. Your advocacy matters.
When we needed to speak up to Congress and ask lawmakers to #SaveOurCures, Ray Casey shared how a clinical trial changed his life. He and so many others spoke up through our campaign, and it made a difference!
Thank you to everyone who spoke up to help #SaveOurCures. Your voices protected an investment that makes America stronger, healthier, and more innovative.

Basic research takes decades, so companies won't consider funding it. Basic research led to the MRI, antibodies, and statins. Congress decides the FY2026 budget by Jan 30. Research funded in 2026 becomes treatments in 2036-2046.
