Tax Day - round 3 - NIH 🩻🧠🧬

🧬 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $105/year to NIH, helping fund:

• Cancer & rare disease breakthroughs
• Pandemic preparedness
• Children’s health
• Medical tech innovation
• Mental health science & more

NIH powers the science behind the healthcare we rely on.
A serious medical scene shows a healthcare worker in surgical scrubs standing in a hospital corridor. Bold white text overlays the image, reading: “Curing cancer. Preventing pandemics. What’s it worth?” A dark blue graphic with white text centered over a soft-focus medical background. The message reads: “Just $105 per year from the average taxpayer funds the national institute of health. That’s all it takes to help save lives improve care, and fight disease” A clean, square infographic with a dark blue background and light blue accents. The header reads, “What does that money actually do? Your $105 helps fund:” followed by six icons and descriptions: 1. Mental Health Research – Depression, PTSD, addiction 2. Cancer & Rare Disease Studies – From early detection to lifesaving treatments 3. Pandemic Preparedness – Vaccines, virus tracking, prediction and prevention 4. Children’s Health – Brain development, neonatal and pediatric care 5. Medical Innovation – Imaging, prosthetics, diagnostics 6. Basic Biomedical Science – Foundational research for future cures
