Transparency & Accountability
The bill sets a funding target for each year from 2026 through 2030. Keeping the research funded after that would take a new act of Congress.
More about this bill
Most people would see no change in daily life from this bill. It would set a funding target for brain aneurysm research at the National Institutes of Health. The money would go to its brain and stroke institute. The target is $20 million a year from 2026 through 2030. Actual spending still depends on later votes in Congress. Any money approved could be spent until September 30, 2033. A brain aneurysm is a weak, bulging spot in a blood vessel in the brain. The research would focus on ones that have not burst. Studies would include a wider mix of patients by age, sex, and race. The new money must add to current aneurysm research, not replace it. The bill is named for five people who died when a brain aneurysm burst. It was sent to the House Energy and Commerce Committee in April 2025.
