I strongly encourage you to respond to this mission-critical, time-sensitive request. As our current President has correctly and often emphasized, your personal advocacy really DOES matter, and remember that you have a PERSONAL stake in maintaining adequate NIH funding to conduct psychopharmacology science. Thanks - we're all in this together!

Subject: Act Now! Urge Congress to Preserve the $1 Billion Increase for NIH!
Dear Colleague,
We need your help to encourage the U.S. Congress to finish work on the fiscal year (FY) 2011 budget for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the other federal science agencies which are currently operating under a temporary funding measure known as a "continuing resolution." This summer the House and Senate Appropriations Committees recommended that NIH receive $32 billion in 2011 – a $1 billion increase over current funding. In order for this increase to become law, Congress will need to pass an omnibus spending measure this month.
Please go to http://capwiz.com/faseb/issues/alert/?alertid=20222501 and email your Senators and Representative today. Urge them to make the $1 billion increase for NIH a reality by approving an FY 2011 omnibus funding bill. Please help ensure that funding for NIH remains a high priority for Congress.
Sincerely,
[cid:212an$IN288012912388310@eezzeldin-7410]
William T. Talman, MD
FASEB President
