93% of cancer treatments started with American government-funded research.

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!

ONE WEEK until Congress must decide on the Fiscal Year 2026 research funding budget.

Tell Congress to finalize strong funding. Your family's future depends on it: FundResearch.org

Long-term studies need federal funding; companies won't wait 30 years. These types of studies impact public health on a large scale. Interrupting funding wastes decades of ongoing work. Tell Congress to finalize federal funding with a full investment into research: FundResearch.org

The federal government supports research into aging conditions because millions of American families need solutions.

Tell Congress: Do not delay impactful research, #SaveOurCures!

10 days until the Jan 30 federal budget continuing resolution ends. Prevention research keeps people healthy (no customers = companies won't fund). Federal funding is the only solution.

Tell Congress to finalize strong funding: FundResearch.org

Federal funding doesn't ask if research is profitable; it asks if it helps Americans.

Tell Congress to finalize strong funding before the January 30th deadline to finalize the Fiscal Year 2026 budget: FundResearch.org

Congress must finalize FY2026 research funding before the January 30th deadline.

What's at stake:
*Basic research creating future treatments
*408K+ jobs nationwide
*Your family's healthcare options in 2041-2051

Tell Congress: Finalize strong federal research funding: FundResearch.org

15 days until the January 30 Continuing Resolution deadline to finalize the FY2026 federal budget. Congress must finalize research funding, and it directly affects your future health.

Tell Congress to support strong research funding. Your future health depends on what gets funded: FundResearch.org

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.

Every medicine in your cabinet started as basic research. Aspirin, diabetes meds, cancer treatments, antidepressants; all from curiosity-driven questions.

Congress finalizes Fiscal Year 2026 before the Continuing Resolution ends Jan 30.

Research funded in Fiscal Year 2026 becomes treatments in 2041-2051.

Congress finalizes the budget next week. Strong funding sustains the innovation pipeline.

Tell lawmakers that reduced funding will create treatment gaps for the next generation: FundResearch.org

Medical breakthroughs take 15-25 years. Research funded in 2026 will lead to treatments in 2041-2051.

Companies fund late stages. Government must fund early basic research.

Your voice matters! Tell Congress to fund the federal research budget when they return from break: FundResearch.org
December 26, 2025 at 8:55 PM
Companies hide failures. Federal research publishes them.

Why it matters: Science advances by eliminating wrong answers. Published failures prevent wasted time retesting dead ends.

Let lawmakers know how funding complete knowledge, not just profitable knowledge, matters: FundResearch.org

Stay informed on federal research funding news and the impacts of cuts.
