Congressman Luttrell Submits Amendment in Support of the BRAIN Initiative Funding

According to the American Brain Coalition of which NANS is a member, Congressman Luttrell, co-chair of the Congressional Neuroscience Caucus, has submitted an amendment to the Rules Committee in favor of increasing funding for the BRAIN Initiative (H.R. 9029).

This amendment would restore additional funding for NINDS and NIMH back to the CURES level for FY24. However, it’s unclear how the House bill will impact funding for the BRAIN initiative, as it is unlikely to become law. The coalition will continue to work with the Senate during final appropriations negotiations. However, it is encouraging to see Congressman Luttrell prioritizing the BRAIN Initiative. We will continue to keep you posted about this news.
