Investment in NIH Increases Significantly
For the past several years, the National Institutes of Health investment in MS-related research has been declining. You've contacted your legislators many times to ask for increased multiple sclerosis research funding through the NIH. Now you can say thank you! Finally, the re...search community is being reinvigorated through significant money allocated to the NIH from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Thank you for being an MS activist. Join the movement at www.nationalMSsociety.org/advocacy.
