Advocacy & Policy

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) works with policymakers and other leaders to advance policy priorities that strengthen the nation’s health and well-being.

Through policymaking that affects the intertwined missions of academic medicine, including health care delivery, research, education, health equity, and more, the federal government is a key partner in sustaining the vitality of the nation’s medical schools, teaching hospitals, and health systems and improving the health of all. Find out more about how academic medicine propels health care forward through the AAMC’s What Starts Here Saves Lives campaign.

This graph shows how funding for the NIH has not kept pace with inflation. While there has been an increase in the dollar amounts allocated to the NIH between 2003 and 2024, when adjusted for inflation, NIH funding in 2024 was actually lower than in 2003.

Congress must support robust federal funding for the NIH

As policymakers debate the focus and funding of federal agencies, it is critical that they continue to support robust federal funding for the NIH — funding that in 2024 supported more than 300,000 researchers at over 2,500 institutions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
