Durbin, Duckworth Announce More Than $31 Million for Health Care Research in Illinois
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) today announced $31,055,926 in U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) medical research grants for Illinois institutions. The funding will be put toward research programs across the state to support medical advancement in various fields, ranging from cancer prevention to vision research.
“Federal investments in medical research equip Illinois’ institutions with the resources they need to deliver real public health results for patients in need,” said Durbin. “I’ve fought for significant increases in funding for the National Institutes of Health over the past decade, and I’ll keep making sure these organizations have the support they need to help save lives.”
“Illinois has an outstanding slate of state and local programs to keep residents healthy, safe and protected,” said Duckworth. “I'm proud of the continued federal support that helps keep these programs properly equipped to serve Illinoisans and provide care during public health crises.”
