Alexandria, VA, USA – The American Association for Dental Research (AADR) was pleased to see the House Budget Committee’s recent proposal to raise the discretionary spending caps in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 – a critical first step in the dialogue on preventing $55 billion in harmful cuts to federal research and public health programs at the end of the current fiscal year. The spending levels reflected in the proposal are more realistic and reasonable for the coming years and, importantly, they will allow our nation’s indispensable federal research agencies to carry out their respective missions.

Alexandria, Va., – The American Association for Dental Research (AADR) and the Friends of National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (FNIDCR) oppose the president’s fiscal year 2020 budget as released on Monday.
