$25 million has been allocated specifically for the Neurofibromatosis Research Program (NFRP) in the Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus appropriates bill that was passed by the House, December 23rd! It only awaits the President’s signature to be final.
That’s $5 million more than last year!!
Every year NF Midwest and other NF organizations and volunteer advocates work very hard to secure this vital funding for neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis research. This funding and research are separate from the work that is also funded and done through the National Institutes of Health and is a larger amount than usual.
It took a long time to get this bill done this year and we’re already starting in January to drum up support for funding in 2024!
The work of securing this funding is only made possible by the donations we have received from donors and the work of our fundraisers.
Thank you to all! You made this happen!
