Policy Update: Congressional Interest in NIH Reform Continues with New Framework, Engagement Opportunities

Lewis-Burke Associates has provided campus with a report about congressional interest in NIH reform continues with new framework and engagement opportunities.  In recent months congressional interest in policy changes for biomedical research, specifically focused on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has increased substantially. Several factors, including scrutiny of the agency’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a perceived lack of transparency and oversight of certain research areas, and the fact that NIH has not been subject to formal reauthorization in almost twenty years have contributed to this interest. Please read the report for more information.
