ResearchMeansHope.org
We are a coalition of concerned patients and the physicians and researchers of America's medical schools, teaching hospitals, universities, research companies and organizations.
We believe that medical research is the beginning of hope for everyone suffering from serious illnesses like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, depression and Parkinson's. Our goal is to ensure sustained, real growth in federal support for medical research funded by the National Institutes of Health. Only through significant, annual increases in medical research funding can the promise of medical research be fulfilled.
