Share Your Story, Show the Cost
Taxpayer-funded research saves lives, drives innovation, and supports good jobs. When Congress cuts that funding, progress stalls, careers derail, and patients lose options they may never get back.
We're collecting personal stories from patients, families, and researchers to:
-
Show the breakthroughs funding makes possible and what's at risk
-
Reveal how policy decisions lead to real-world harm
-
Build public pressure to protect and restore research funding
Tell us your story - whether it's about care you received, care you lost, or research you worked on that was advanced or cut. You can answer by video or in writing and you will be able to select your level of privacy.
How Your Story May Be Used
-
To inform media stories and public awareness efforts
-
To support advocacy to protect research funding
-
To help policymakers understand the real-world impact of their decisions
Privacy Choices (you decide at the end)
-
Full anonymity: No identifying details will be used
-
Limited attribution: Anonymized description of you and your story (e.g., "Mike, a patient with ALS who lives in Ohio")
-
Full attribution: Identified publicly by your real name
Thank you for sharing your experience and helping make the value of taxpayer-funded research impossible to ignore!
