External studies have shown:

-NIH funding directly or indirectly supported the development of ALL new treatments that were FDA approved between 2010-2020

Nearly every medicine we benefit from started with NIH-funded research. Early discovery work starts in academia.

Immunotherapies?
Gene therapy for rare diseases?
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medicines?
Vaccines?
Novel cancer treatments?
Psychiatric medicines?
