A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the operations of the National Institutes of Health should not experience any interruption, delay, or funding disruption in violation of the law and that the workforce of the National Institutes of Health is essential to sustaining medical progress.

This Senate resolution expresses the strong belief that the operations of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) should not experience any interruption, delay, or funding disruption that violates the law. This protection is deemed essential for safeguarding the health, economic vitality, and national security of the United States, particularly concerning research into critical diseases like childhood cancers, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and infectious diseases. Furthermore, the resolution asserts that the dedicated NIH workforce , comprising scientists, researchers, and medical professionals, is indispensable for advancing medical progress. It warns that any interference with their work would undermine efforts to develop life-saving treatments, weaken the nation's biomedical research enterprise, and jeopardize its capacity to address public health challenges effectively.
