Senator Specter Breaks Promise
Filed Under Uncategorized |
The mesothelioma research community today expressed great disappointment in Senator Arlen Specter’s reluctance to provide additional funding for mesothelioma research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Only $2.8 million is currently spent by the National Institute of health on mesothelioma research - even though it claims 4,000 lives a year. The 2.8 million represents less than .1% of the NIH’s research budget.
