The Ad Hoc Group for
Medical Research

A coalition in support of increased funding for the National Institutes of Health

WHO WE ARE

The Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research is a coalition of patient and voluntary health groups, medical and scientific societies, academic and research organizations, and industry that support enhancing the federal investment in the biomedical, behavioral, and population-based research conducted and supported by the NIH.

OUR RECOMMENDATION

Increased funding for the National Institutes of Health

Nearly 400 organizations and institutions across the NIH stakeholder community recommend an appropriation of at least $51.3 billion for NIH’s foundational work in FY 2025, which would allow NIH’s base budget to keep pace with the biomedical research and development price index and allow meaningful growth of roughly 5%. In addition, as the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) ramps up its work in targeted research areas, our broad-based, national community of diverse stakeholders is unanimous in emphasizing that any funding for ARPA-H should supplement, rather than supplant, the essential foundational investment in the NIH. We urge lawmakers to maintain investments in the NIH as a key bipartisan national priority and to continue supporting patients and discovery. Our nation’s health depends on it.
