WASHINGTON, DC - The nonpartisan support for the 21st Century Cures Act continues to grow stronger by the day. In recent weeks, letters of support have come from Research!America and United for Medical Research, and One Voice Against Cancer. Most recently, the Association of Public & Land-Grant Universities (APLU) and the Association of American Universities (AAU) wrote expressing their continued support of the nonpartisan Cures bill.
“On behalf of our associations’ more than 200 research universities, we respectfully urge Congress to pass and send to the president this year a 21st Century Cures/medical innovation bill which provides a surge of multi-year, guaranteed funding as well as robust authorization levels for the National Institutes of Health (NIH)," wrote Peter McPherson, President of APLU, and Mary Sue Coleman, President of AAU. “The House and Senate’s bipartisan efforts on such legislation in the 114th Congress have been truly extraordinary and should not go unfulfilled."
In the letter to bipartisan House and Senate leaders, the two groups urge advancing the bill before the end of the year, writing, “…we strongly encourage you to seize this notable opportunity and move an NIH Cures/innovation bill over the finish line."
Lists of APLU and AAU members are below.
