Britt & Booker's NIH Act: Funding Maternal Health Research

Senators Katie Britt and Cory Booker are collaborating on the NIH Act, aiming to allocate $73.4 million annually for seven years to the National Institutes of Health for maternal health research. This bipartisan effort addresses rising maternal mortality rates, particularly in states like Alabama, and disproportionately affects Black and Native American women. Britt is also involved in expanding maternal care in rural areas, eliminating out-of-pocket costs for breast cancer diagnostic tests, and supporting pregnant women and adoptive families.
