Tax Day - round 3 - NIH 🩻🧠🧬 🧬 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $105/year to NIH, helping fund: • Cancer & rare disease breakthroughs • Pandemic preparedness • Children’s health • Medical tech innovation • Mental health science & more NIH powers the science behind the healthcare we rely on.

A serious medical scene shows a healthcare worker in surgical scrubs standing in a hospital corridor. Bold white text overlays the image, reading: “Curing cancer. Preventing pandemics. What’s it worth?”

A dark blue graphic with white text centered over a soft-focus medical background. The message reads: “Just $105 per year from the average taxpayer funds the national institute of health. That’s all it takes to help save lives improve care, and fight disease”

A clean, square infographic with a dark blue background and light blue accents. The header reads, “What does that money actually do? Your $105 helps fund:” followed by six icons and descriptions:
1. Mental Health Research – Depression, PTSD, addiction
2. Cancer & Rare Disease Studies – From early detection to lifesaving treatments
3. Pandemic Preparedness – Vaccines, virus tracking, prediction and prevention
4. Children’s Health – Brain development, neonatal and pediatric care
5. Medical Innovation – Imaging, prosthetics, diagnostics
6. Basic Biomedical Science – Foundational research for future cures

United for Medical Research released their 2024 report on the economic impact of NIH funding. $36.9B extramular funding resulted in $94.6B in local economies across the USA. This is an immediate 2.56X return on investment. www.unitedformedicalresearch.org 1/2

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

An image of NIH campus. Text says : With annual budget of more than $47 billion, NIH is the largest single public funder of biomedical and behavioural research in the world. In fiscal year 2023, NIH funding generated an estimated $92.89 billion in economic activity

Every state and almost every congressional district received a share of NIH investment
Each year, NIH awards over 60,000 grants that directly support more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 different institutions
In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity
