We need your help! Please call your Senators today and urge them to sign on to the Senate Dear Colleague letter supporting the National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding.

Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Richard Burr (R-NC) are circulating a letter to other Senators asking for their support in maintaining a strong federal commitment to the NIH in FY 2012.

The NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world for many devastating diseases and conditions, including research for paralysis and spinal cord injury.

The deadline for signatures is close of business today (Thursday, June 9th). Your immediate action is essential to ensuring Congressional support for NIH’S innovative, life-saving programs and research.

Please help the paralysis community by calling your Senators and asking them to show their support by signing the Senate NIH Dear Colleague letter today!
