Support The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0 (H.R. 6556)
Additional funding is needed to supplement much needed research for childhood cancers and other diseases that strike our Nation’s children. The Kids First Research Act 2.0 would transfer to the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Initiative Fund at the National Institutes of Health existing and future funds derived from registered persons under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for penalties and fines from violations of laws.
The bill has been introduced to Congress by U.S. Representative Jennifer Wexton (VA-10). Legislation of this kind benefits everyone involved in CBTN and can provide crucial funding to advance our shared goals.
You can lend your support for the Kids First Research Act 2.0 by adding your name to our general letter of support. PLEASE SHARE THE LINK! The more names of support that can be added, the more we can show broad public support for the effort.
