NCC Updates Funding Requests to Congress

AONL and the 63 other members of the Nursing Community Coalition urged Congress to invest in the nation’s nursing when passing the fiscal year 2025 budget. In a letter to Congressional leadership and House and Senate Appropriations Committee members, the NCC requests at least $310.472 million for Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development programs and at least $197.693 million for the National Institute of Nursing Research, as outlined in the Senate Appropriations Committee-passed bill. Congress must pass a budget by Sept. 30 to avoid a government shutdown. (NCC letter, 9/16/24)
