American Diabetes Association Urges New Congress to Address
Yahoo! News (press release) - 16 hours ago the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and further cuts to prevention and treatment efforts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were not
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Diabetes Association (ADA) announced that securing sufficient funding for diabetes research and prevention efforts will be its top priority for the incoming Congress, after the 109th Congress adjourned without passing a new budget. The decision by the 109th Congress to adjourn earlier this month without passing a budget for Fiscal Year 2007 means that the Bush Administration's proposed $11 million cut to diabetes research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and further cuts to prevention and treatment efforts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were not enacted. However, maintaining Fiscal Year 2006 funding levels also means that the federal investment in fighting diabetes continues to fall far short of what's necessary to reverse the national surge in diabetes prevalence and related complications. ADA has urged Congress to increase diabetes research at NIH by $92 million - or 5 percent - and diabetes treatment and prevention efforts at CDC by $20.8 million, or one dollar for every American with diabetes.
