ALS Northwest is partnering with I AM ALS on several federal funding priorities (I AM ALS website). We urge Congress to fully fund the Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies (ACT) for ALS Act, among other significant programs.

“Our vision at ALS Northwest is an end to ALS. The federal government is a crucial hub in funding ALS research. We are pleased to join I AM ALS in prioritizing the crucial funds needed to drive scientific progress that will lead to new treatments for ALS. Our aim at ALS Northwest is to collaborate with anyone and everyone who shares our vision. Together we will bring the voices of people with ALS to the Congress to make sure the needs of people with ALS are heard.”
