Referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. (text: CR S1352)
This Senate resolution expresses the chamber's view that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) must continue operating without any legal interruptions, delays, or funding cuts. The resolution emphasizes that the NIH's work on major diseases—including childhood cancers, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease, and infectious diseases—is critical to American health, economic strength, and national security. The resolution also states that the NIH's workforce of scientists, researchers, and medical professionals is essential to medical progress and that disrupting their work would harm the development of life-saving treatments and the nation's ability to respond to public health emergencies. This is a non-binding resolution expressing Senate sentiment rather than creating new law or appropriating funds. The resolution was introduced in February 2025 and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
