House Appropriations Bill Includes $20 Million for NF Research
In February, 94 advocates from across the country participating in the NF Network Advocacy Program came together as one voice for the NF community on Capitol Hill, educating Congress on the importance of federal funding for NF research. Thanks to your advocacy efforts, we are pleased to announce that legislation passed by the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee includes $20 million for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP-NFRP) for neurofibromatosis research, which is an increase of $5 million over last year's funding level!
