Senator Moran's Legislation for Down Syndrome Research Passes Senate, Awaits House Approval
U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), co-chair of the Congressional Task Force on Down Syndrome, has successfully led the passage of the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act through the Senate. This bipartisan legislation, introduced with Senators John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and former Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), aims to authorize the INCLUDE Project at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The project focuses on research into co-occurring conditions in individuals with Down syndrome. The act is named in honor of DeOndra Dixon, a Global Down Syndrome Foundation Ambassador, and seeks to continue federal investments in Down syndrome research. The legislation now moves to the U.S. House of Representatives for consideration.
