The National MS Society Pushes for Increased Research Funding
- 2. John Guandolo is a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer and former FBI special agent with nearly two decades of experience serving the national and private sectors. In addition to his current responsibilities as founder of counterterrorism education website UnderstandingTheThreat.com, John Guandolo supports organizations like the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society.
- 3. The National MS Society recently encouraged activists to show support for an amendment that would double MS research funding in the Department of Defense’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program. While the U.S. House of Representatives approved the amendment to increase funding from $5 million to $10 million in 2015, Senate approval is required to finalize the change.
- 4. Thanks to the efforts of committed advocates, the multiple sclerosis research program has received $28 million over the past six years. To show support for the pending amendment, MS activists can reach out via social media or e-mail MS Caucus senators. The additional funding would facilitate groundbreaking research dedicated to understanding the cause of the debilitating disease and investigating prevention and treatment options.
