what nih is doing in that area?so, alzheimer's disease is an area of intense focus and has of course enormous consequences. we need to find answers here. five million americans currently affected. the cost permanently to those individuals to their families, is enormous. the economic costs we know is approaching $200 billion a year, just in the united states. so we need to find ways to prevent or delay this disease and there is effort across many different parts of nih to do so but led by the national institute on aging. this extended from very basic science studies trying to understand what is actually happening in the brain that leads to the deposits of proceed teens, am -- an interesting development is called alzheimer's in a dish, the ability to take stem cells add an appropriate cocktail to convince them to become neurons and put them in a dish not as flat cells but in a three-dimensional space where they act like they would in a normal circumstance, and you can tell the difference between the cells if they came

would the nih budget be today? i keep a graph in front of me all the time about this very question, and i'll put it up on the screen, because this is a documentation of the problems that we are now facing. what you're seeing on that screen there the yellow line is what nih has had as far as our purchasing power. it's the appropriation adjusted by the effects of inflation. the dotted green line is the trajectory that nih was on, going back to 1970 until 1998 when we had that wonderful doubling, but we've been getting undoubled ever since. you follow the dotted green line we would be substantially hire up in the neighborhood of a little over $40 billion. >> just to get back on track and to reverse the damage of the last decade nih would need more than $12 billion in the first year, and the house proposal doesn't put that much in over the space of five years? so let me just ask, based on what you have here in your expert judgment, what's the annual rate of increase that nih needs to get back on track on its funding? >

what is nih doing to confirm if those trends are real? dr. collins: we observed those papers as well with great interest. it was surprising. there is reason to be a little skeptical about whether one can be confident in conclusion. much of this data is based on death certificates. as we know, death certificates often do not accurately record the cause of death. it may say pneumonia or cartel year when the primary problem was alzheimer's disease. there are two bump different -- two studies underway to see whether there is in fact evidence to point to that decrease or whether some of this is a diagnosis issue. it is possible because there is a vascular contribution and perhaps we are doing better now at managing things and that category that that might have resulted in a diminution or a delay in onset. we need to know the answer and i appreciate you raising that. senator murray: it is intriguing, if it is true and we learn something, that would be outstanding. i will be following that, too. since 2009, nih has been monitoring the disparity betw

collins, what is nih doing to protect patient practices? >> we already initiated a genome data sharing policy, which has been in place for several years because we have been conducting studies as you might know to try to understand genetic contributions to diseases like alzheimer's or schizophrenia or heart disease. and the conditions underwhich then that data can be shared is rather carefully overseen. qualified researchers can apply to see that data because we think much is gained by having it accessible. it has to be overseen in a way to make sure that the individuals who are looking at the data are appropriately signing on to various restrictions like not sharing it with third parties and acknowledging where it came from. that has been very successful over several years. i think we have a pretty good framework there. we think there are things that are needed in order to protect genetic privacy, make sure it is not acquired by individuals who do not have the right to do so that there ought to be something to avoid surreptitious genetic t

nih is critical to accelerating cures. let's be clear, a few billion dollars in temporary funding will not solve a decade of neglect, much less build a future that we need. so dr. collins, in the late 1990's, congress doubled the budget of nih and agency funding was left to shrink that down. if congress had never doubled the budget and had simply kept pace with prior investments where would the nih budget be today? dr. collins: i keep a graph in front of me all the time on this very check, i will put it up on the screen, because this is a documentation of the problems we are facing. what you see is -- the yellow line is what nih has had for purchasing power, it is adjusted by the effects of inflation. the dotted green line is in the trajectory of it, going back to 1970. we had that wonderful doubling, but have gone down ever since. we could have stayed on that smoother trajectory and would have been higher up in the neighborhood of $40 billion. senator warren: to reverse the damage of the last decade, if i'm reading this r

and maryland we identified 26 biohazard labs and reviewed safety records, nih bethesda and nih fort detrick in frederick where they handle smallpox, monkey pox, west nile virus, tuberculosis and more. these documents show hundreds of safety incidents since 2013. in one case at nih a ferret innoculated antibodies bit a worker's palm. our news partner at usa today found monkeys living at the tulane, louisiana primate center while living in an outdoor breeding colony were accidentally infected with bioterror bacteria. >> there's very little detail readily available. >> reporter: usa today reporter allison young uncovered more than 200 labs operating across the country at a biosafety level 3 and 4, the highest risk levels, and since 2003 the government has cited more than 100 of those labs with a potential bioterror agents inside for serious safety violations, but this is the blacked out redacted document the usa today/wusa9 investigation received on those locations, the sanctions and risks. it sounds to me like with all the information you found the years that you spent on this project, there'

lane's team at the nih at the same time with the same vaccine candidate.and we jointly published those results in the last couple of months. but it didn't stop with the u.s. government. we were also working with the world health organization because there were other groups that were also doing these small safety trials. and together we were able to take all the blood samples send them to usamriid and they were able to generate the data that was required to make informed decisions what about vaccine dose needed to be use inside west africa. and you've probably seen the lay press those trials are ongoing right now. so as colonel coleman mentioned it's not just dod it's not just whole of u.s. government, it's an international effort. and our vaccine trials that we were doing here in the u.s. were also being done overseas. and, in fact the vaccine trial we did at the the r.a.r.e. this past year, it wasn't the first time we had done an ebola vaccine trial. building on military hiv research program which has had a presence in you uganda for many years and collab

some of those efforts are underway at nih with our initiatives that focus on the american indian and alaska natives research capacity building. and we need to continue those efforts. with respect to the iom meeting i think i would probably ask you again, that sounds like how much of buy-in is there in the local context for the. to me that seems like it would be one starting place to make sure that you've got all the stakeholders in alaska being a of a single mind about pursuing something in that direction but certainly whatever avenues whether it's an iom report, was ait's some other avenue to bring attention to the needs and to regulars in document where we are with respect to effective intervention in these contexts it would be an interesting intervention. >> thank you. wonderful questions. two quick comments. first a preview of coming attractions. we'll be releasing hope in june and major study on the russian arctic to help us understand come you heard on the energy panel russia has enormous economic status in the arctic. they have a long history in writing very comprehensive and

we had the nih back then saying we need to get involved. the institute of medicine came out in the 2000s to say that. we have been trying to move forward. we paid out a guidance to say we will start regulating a subset. we heard don't pick away at this. put out an arbor arching framework, and phase and implementation. we held a meeting. we got the input. the guidance we proposed last year was our attempt to do that. tried to balance innovation with patient safety, and phase it in overtime. we are addressing comments. we are working with the community on what that policy should be. senator murray: you are engaging groups as you work through that? dr. shuren: yes. the american cancer society has seen test where they are incorrect. patients are being diagnosed with cancer when they don't have it. people who have cancer being told they don't have cancer. we need better oversight. we need to make sure we have accurate test in the test do what they claim to do. senator murray: one more question. dr. collins, why is one million the right number? d

what is nih doing to determine. it was surprising.reason to be a little bit skeptical to be confident in the true that would be quite important. much of the date is a based on death certificates. and they often do not accurately rord that and individuals with dementia to say heart failure when the primary problem was alzheimers' disease. the national institute of ageing will try to see whether in arresting analysis. and whether there is evidence to in fact point to the decrease and incidents. whether this is a diagnosis for this issue. a contribution here and manage managing that it may have resulted in an incident or a delay with the on he is. we will need to know the answer to that we appreciate you raising it. it is a hot topic and a discussion right now. i think that it is intriguing and if, if it is true. and works and if it is related vascular and we have learned something. that would be outstanding. 20099 was monitoring the december parents here. between the applications and success rates for experienced investigators. and and

if you don't say you are going to fund the nih and nis because that is our future. we have to make these issues salient and not just wonky. >> joining me now, ryan grim. it's good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> that's senator warren in california. she's said she's not running. she has full-time job. many people are saying she is the power player in this presidential election. >> reporter: right. you can tell from that clip. she didn't say anything, you know particularly unusual, you know, from her perspective. it was more the way she delivered it and the passionate approach she took that made it go viral. it's been passed around hundreds of thousands of times since yesterday. so you know a fairly obscure tech conference. she can answer a question about infrastructure and garner hundreds of thousands of viewers, certainly, she's a factor in national politics and the presidential campaign as a result of that. >> she didn't name names or point out one party or the other. this is -- she is a person who can be a moe mentous factor on both sides. let me read what

backs of kids who otherwise can't afford to go to college, if you don't say you're going to find the niht is our future. >> there is a shift happening in this country on the issue of fairness, and it's not a movie, it's real and there are big questions about what it means for 2016 and beyond. joining me now is ryan grimm, washington bureau chief for "the huffington post." he's written about senator ron johnson's comments about "the lego movie" and salon.com's joan walsh. thank you both for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> ryan i'm going to get to senator johnson's lego comments in a moment but, first, dick fuld whose firm was at the center of the financial crisis. he's talking about income inequality. are we seeing a shift here? >> yeah i think he sees some of what's going on and he wants to kind of you know embrace a little bit of that as he's trying to kind of make a resurrection. you know at the same time i'm sure he's gone through a lot of kind, you know psychological suffering over the last couple of years as he was toppled from his perch as one of the top capitalists in the

put it back into defense and nondefense programs like the cdc and the nih, which help us all and go to the plan to keep america from becoming greece. a strong america means it has to have a sound economy. 80 million baby-boomers will retire in the next 25 years and we are going to wipe out social security and medicare. if you don't do what ronald reagan and tip o'neill did, then our best days are behind us. if you can't do what reagan and simpson-bowles calls for you're not going to have the capability to defend this country. here is my advice about. . -- about putin. rebuild your military. get republicans and democrats acting like adults, not teenagers, and put this country on a sound economic footing and let the enemies of this world know america is back and to our friends, you can count on us starting with the ukraine. >> thank you. [applause] >> i like that. good job. >> mr. blair, i reckon i just come to 99%. [laughter] look, first of all, have to be very clear about this, what happened in ukraine is the first time that territory has been taken like that since the end of the secon

the way we the way we work with both the nih and the global fund and how we leverage. we work closely obviously. they both support scientific development and capacity development with us as well as key research. they are working on an hiv vaccine and we are very excited about the progress. i think what was missing is the level of absolute working together at the global fund. over the last 18 months that has really transformed into an almost daily testing. we are testing. we are in constant communication, but we are in constant communication at every level. >> how did that happen? >> we committed to it. >> in part perhaps because i was out in the beginning. i was there soon after. part of the relationship. an evolution globally and in country. we have no and country presence. we are financing mechanism to my leverage mechanism to make sure people will come together to finance. we raise money. you put and call we put in 4 billion a year and raise it from all sectors. and i have to say, you know, that the chairman's comments chairman's comments, without that leadership fr

we need the nih here.bradenberg and his wife have done great contributions but i don't think the private sector is up to it. >> i agree. the only thing we can open you look at congress and how they used to not fund cancer research and as more and more people had a family member or friend who suffered from it they took more of a personal interest in it. i'm surprised it hasn't happened yet with alzheimer's because there have been so many people affected by it. i think honestly it's such a terrifying illness they don't want to think about it. the idea about something happen to wore body physically is threatening enough but the idea that it can happen to your mind is terrifying to us. and they don't want to give it any attention. >> and for my mom, who wanted to be alive at that age and some very smart people get hit late in life and nailed on these things. i hope the private people like the bradenbergs keep up the good work. this thing can be beaten. when we return, let me finish tonight with rand paul's uni

we are involved in an nih control funded and we are hoping to have some economic cost savings figures associated with this. i can tell you my collaborator has looked at the economic impact of using nursing care coordination. that is what they are doing an entire place as well. it is how they do the nursing care and how you add the technology on top of it. they have shown a dramatic potential associated with what they have been able to do, just to organize and coordinate it, we have seen the standard level of care at tiger place with those -- between those who have sensors and those that do not. we see improved health outcomes and a longer stay in independent living. i am extrapolating. i do not have the numbers for you. i suspect they are significant. this one statement in here comes from maryland -- marilyn's work about 10 million people need long-term care in the united states of the 4.6 million older than 65 and live in the community. these represent a potential 89 billion in class savings. senator mccaskill: we would love to get the numbers. tiger place is more expensive than some

we are involved in in any -- an nih control funded and we are hoping to have some economic cost savings figures associated with this. i can tell you my collaborator has looked at the economic impact of using nursing care coordination. that is what they are doing an entire place as well. it is how they do the nursing care and how you add the technology on top of it. they have shown a dramatic potential associated with what they have been able to do, just to organize and coordinate it we have seen the standard level of care at tiger place with those -- between those who have sensors and those that do not. we see improved health outcomes and a longer stay in independent living. i am extrapolating. i do not have the numbers for you. isis backed they are significant. i -- i suspect they are significant. this one statement in here comes from maryland -- marilyn's work about 10 million people need long-term care in the united states of the 4.6 million older than 65 and live in the community. these represent a potential 89 billion in class savings. senator mccaskill: we would love to get the nu

but the budget is cut for nih the national institute of health. what kind of priorities does this reflect? and on top of that, for 16.4 million people who now affordable insurance it is gone. what is interesting about the budget, it is creative. all the revenue from all the fees to pay for healthcare stays to help balance the budget. it is just the healthcare the goes away. so for the breast cancer patients that i talked to this morning who are now so grateful that if they need to go out and get knew insurance they won't be called someone with a pre-existing condition, that goes away in this budget. if if you have a child was 22 or 23 just graduated and they are on your insurance right now while they are trying to get themselves together and get that 1st job that goes away. so this budget attacks healthcare which is not a drill. we don't control when and how we get sick or if our children get sick or if our parents or grandparents need a nursing home or what may happen in terms of medical issues and our families. but healthcare is directly attacke

why is it okay to not offset spending like that on defense but it's sacrilege to put money in the nih have to offset it. >> i don't think it is sacrilege. in fact, there are lots of republicans -- and i would be included -- who would increase money for nih and want to have something that is more rational than the budget control act and its arbitrary caps and sequestration. but the point is you can't do that on a defense authorization bill. so in effect the troops are being held hostage for something that we can't fix in this bill. and, again, that's just not the place or time to have that debate and it's not fair to them to try to have it and hold them hostage on it. >> politico's mike allen, you're next? >> mr. chairman, you're month three with ash carter as the new defense secretary. how is his style different? what's he been like to work with? >> he's been excellent to work with. he comes with some unique insights into the way the pentagon works. so in addition to reversing the cuts that we have had in defense spending, one of our priorities on the hill and secretary carter is work

i'm sure as hell for funding more of nih, we've talked about funding infrastructure. but is she going to support changes? is she going to support real reform. we hear time and time again on this show liberals saying do this, do that. but there was only an earthquake in nepal because we didn't spend enough money in washington, d.c. everything goes back with that. we found out with the am practical train, it wasn't about not spending too much money, it was because the union didn't want do a cheap fix for the union sake. now, i'm all for infrastructure funding. is elizabeth warren going to be all for reforming stupid workforce practices that make us unproductive and make us waste so much money? is she going to be for reforming the union stranglehold on amtrak reform? is she going to be for more than just saying taxpayers of massachusetts, i know if you make $300,000 or $400,000 you pay 60% of your salary to taxes, fees and regulations, but i think that you're greedy saw should pay p 5% of your salaries to taxes, fees and regulations and i'm not going for ask the unions w
