As an advocate in the fight to end Alzheimer's, you understand how critical research funding is to the Alzheimer’s Association’s commitment stop this deadly disease as soon as possible. That is why it is my great pleasure to share very encouraging news with you.
This morning, the Senate Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee informed us that they will propose our requested $400 million increase in Alzheimer’s research funding for FY2017. If approved and signed into law, this new funding would be in addition to the historic $350 million increase signed into law several months ago at the close of 2015.
