Dear [Decision Maker],

As a constituent and sometime who cares about people with hydrocephalus, I am asking you to support a topline number of $51.303 billion for the FY 2025 NIH budget.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are responsible for conducting and facilitating life-saving research for hydrocephalus and its treatments. Currently there are over 1 million individuals that have been diagnosed with hydrocephalus and there is no known cure. The only treatment is through a shunt, a medical device permanently implanted in the ventricles of the brain, which have the highest failure rate of any implanted medical device.

* Personalize your message

By increasing the NIH budget, there will be more research grants dedicated to groundbreaking research that seeks to find alternative treatment methods and eventually a cure for those in the hydrocephalus community.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
