The purpose of the day was to advocate for federal funding for research, which includes the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Centers for Disease Control and other agencies.<\/li>\n<li>The group met with congressional staff from the offices of our Representatives and Senators. During these meetings we emphasized the importance of research funding that drives scientific discoveries by sharing individual stories. We also emphasized how these scientific advances improve the care of patients and health of the nation. Information was provided about the positive economic impact of NIH and NSF funding for each state and congressional district.<\/li>\n<li>Our specific request was to have research funded to the full amount in the 2017 budget. Since the federal government currently operates under a continuing resolution, NIH has been withholding 10% from grants until the budget has been finalized.<\/li>\n<li>The Massachusetts representatives all strongly supported research funding. However, they were also pessimistic given the current political climate in Washington DC, even though there is strong bipartisan support for research.<\/li>\n<li>This pessimism was justified when the White House released the first version of their budget, which calls for cutting the NIH budget by $5.8 billion, or 18%.<\/li>\n<li>The Massachusetts delegation included Laura Coleman representing the American Society for Nutrition, Shoumita Dasgupta and Daniel Remick from Boston University School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center, Ming Ming Ning from Massachusetts General Hospital and Hanno Steen from Boston Children\u2019s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Derek Scholes the Director of Scientific Policy for the American Society of Human Genetics escorted us throughout the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/busm-pathology\/files\/2017\/04\/Kennedy-picture.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"219\" height=\"219\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-14660\" alt=\"Kennedy picture\" src=\"\/busm-pathology\/files\/2017\/04\/Kennedy-picture-150x150.gif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/busm-pathology\/files\/2017\/04\/Kennedy-picture-150x150.gif 150w, https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/busm-pathology\/files\/2017\/04\/Kennedy-picture-100x100.gif 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Publications ACCEPTED:<\/u><\/strong><i><\/i>\n<ul>\n<li>Leena P.
