Federal biomedical research represents less than 1% of the federal budget but delivers life-saving treatments for millions of American families.
93% of cancer treatments started with American government-funded research.

Federal biomedical research = <1% of budget, $2.50 return per $1 invested.
Imagine if every government program had this ROI.

Federal funding helps researchers take the long view that companies can't. That's how breakthrough treatments are born.

Biomedical breakthroughs take YEARS. Researchers dedicate entire careers to single diseases, thousands of experiments, countless setbacks. Most Americans couldn't name a single biomedical researcher.
They persist anyway. Because someone's life depends on it.

Every discovery starts small. A cell. A protein. A hypothesis.
But the impact? Limitless.
That discovery becomes a treatment. That patient sees their grandchildren grow up. Those grandchildren inherit a healthier world.
This is why we invest in research.

When Congress cuts funding mid-study, that research doesn't pause; it ends. Years of progress lost. Studies restart from zero.
