Speak Up for Research Funding – Take Action Today
With the March 14 deadline to finalize the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 budget fast approaching, it’s critical that Congress hears from the scientific community about the importance of strong investments in NIH, NSF, FDA, ARPA-H, CDMRP, and more. These agencies drive medical breakthroughs, improve public health, and keep the U.S. at the forefront of innovation. Without sustained funding, research progress could slow, delaying new treatments and technologies that save lives and strengthen our economy. Now is the time to ensure that biomedical research remains a national priority.
We encourage you to take action today by sending AIMBE's pre-drafted FY25 budget letter to your Members of Congress with a few simple clicks:

Showcasing the
NJ ACTS Clinical and Translational Pilot Grant Awardees
NJ ACTS awarded pilot grants to four outstanding projects under its Clinical and Translational Science Pilot Program. This is the third pilot to be highlighted.
Rutgers Researchers Investigating Maternal Preconception Care
| |
Rutgers researchers Anat Chemerinski, MD, and Stephen Crystal, PhD, are investigating preconception care. As maternal mortality rates in the US continue to climb, with the highest rates in the non-Hispanic Black population, a focus on preconception care is warranted. They will assess baseline screening rates and outcomes while piloting an innovative mobile application to improve preconception care delivery. | |
