Each month, Endocrine News presents an overview of how the Endocrine Society has been advocating for the practice and science of endocrinology, both in the U.S. and around the world.
Endocrine Society Calls on Congress to Increase NIH Funding and Protect Research Because Congress is considering funding for fiscal year 2027 right now, the Endocrine Society organized a virtual Hill Day on March 13, to call on lawmakers to increase National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding and protect NIH research. We also urged representatives and senators to provide funding for women’s health research and establish a dedicated Women’s Health Research Fund within the Office of the Director.
In addition, we informed congressional offices about continued delays in funding opportunities and obstacles for researchers to draw down on approved funds, so that they could address with the NIH and the administration. More than 40 members of the Society from states and congressional districts of lawmakers who serve on the appropriations committee participated, resulting in 100 congressional meetings.
Our virtual meetings amplified the voice of endocrine research and the Society’s influence.
