Dear Chair DeLauro, Chairman Leahy, Ranking Member Granger, and Vice Chairman Shelby:
"On behalf of the Endocrine Society, I am writing today to urge the prompt passage of final Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 appropriations bills with robust increases for public health programs including the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest and largest professional organization of researchers and clinicians dedicated to studying and treating hormone diseases. Our membership includes basic and clinical scientists who receive support from NIH for research on endocrine diseases that affect millions of Americans, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, cancer, infertility, aging, obesity and bone disease. Our membership also includes clinicians who depend on new scientific advances to better treat and cure these diseases. We are dedicated to promoting excellence in research, education, and clinical practice in the field of endocrinology."
