today the nih is. pioneering the development of immunotherapies which attacked diseases like cancer, rather than relying on surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. to allow research funding to languish at a time of historic opportunity when we could be saving lives and saving money takes a special type of stupidity that is reserved -- i should notice in an exception the great work of chairman upton and their colleagues in the house. at the 21st century cares initiative is one of the most important and bipartisan efforts in congress in recent years. i know that in addition to senator warren's initiative senator rod johnson is working very hard in the same direction. in addition to the drastic increases to research funding, i call to double the nih budget. i would also call for an increase in the national science foundation, which i think was the one mistake we made in research funding. we should have tripled it, which is much smaller, when we doubled nih. let me quickly put out to bold big ideas about researc

colin, what is nih doing? >> we already initiated a genome data sharing policy in place for several years because we have been conducting studies to try to understand genetic contributions to alzheimer's and schizophrenia and heart disease. the conditions under which that data can be shared is carefully overseen. you have qualified researchers and we think much is gained by having it accessible but it has to be overseen in a way to make sure the individuals looking at the data are appropriately signing on for various restrictions such as not sharing with third parties and acknowledging where it came from. that has been very successful over several years, we have a pretty good framework there. we think there are things needed in order to protect genetic privacy and make sure it is not acquired by individuals who do not have the right to do so and there ought to be some way to avoid serp tishs without their consent. >> senator hatch and then senator franken. >> we appreciate the work you're doing. been following

you applauded higher money spending for nih for rye seares.certainly that graf indicph indicates that more is needed. you also applauded bipartisanship. well, i want to give you an assignment. this committee is bipartisan. that's the way it's been run the last couple of years and the way it's being run you nnow by the leaders. but when money is being cut according to something called a sequester which is nothing horn a maets cleavhie meat cleaver a of the entire budget and that happens to get nihhorn a meat cleaver across the board of the entire budget and that happens to get nih as it did three years ago gowhen dr. frans collins, head of nih, had to cancel 700 medical research grants to research institutions around the country including universities and medical research institutions, then that's going to affect the very thing that you're so concerned. and so my assignment is that you need to have a prayer session with the members of congress who are voting to cut nih. now, let me say to mrs. stemley and mr. gasby, you're doing incredible work

congress has reduced the purchasing power of the nih by nearly 25%. and last year, nih spent only $562 million on alzheimer's disease research. that is about 2/10 of 1% of what the disease cost us last year. dr. hodes, can you tell us very briefly how the reduction in support for nih funding affects you and your colleagues to advance research on alzheimer's? >> thank you for question. it is the case that the progress is not being limited by great idea os for scientists of capable of carrying out the research but our ability to support it. and as an earlier comment i noted, even if one looks at the number of outstanding applications currently being proposed by scientists and the proportion of those that we can fund, it is a conservative estimate that we could fund twice as much as we do now simply by the ideas being proposed and being moved forward at a greater speed. and that is the first iteration. undoubtedly with more resources we would be able to recruit new investigators and establish new infrastructure for more innovative approaches. so that is

nih funding overall is down 25% since 2003. that means for nih we are investing about $12.5 billion less in medical research this year that if we just kept up with inflation over the last decade. last week house passed the 21st century cures act which includes that tears innovation fund that is meant to get nih about 1.9 to in dollars per year for the next five years. that doesn't fill a $12.5 billion hole but it certainly is something. here's what i'm concerned about. i'm concerned an age may not even get that much. before this bill passed the house, a second quarrying the appropriators to continue to fund the nih at current levels was taken out. this is called a maintenance of effort provision, and without it there's nothing to stop congress from cutting the an age, adding 1.9 at the top accounting 1.9 billion from the base budget, or for that matter cutting 2 billion from the budget or 4 billion from the budget in order to try to cut government spending overall. and if that happens, nih budget without actually increase at al

the nih isthe nih is grateful for your continued support of congress, public and private partners, and the unwavering efforts of the clinical study volunteers. we look forward to continuing our vigorous support of research to build upon our recent scientific advances toward the goal of allowing people of all ages with type i diabetes toone diabetes to live long and healthy lives free of the burden of this disease. thank you forthank you for your attention. >> thank you very much, dr.. [applause] >> doctor habib, as i am going to call you. >> chairman, ranking member, members of the special committee to my aunt delighted to be here in the speech i am going to give is more educational and hopefully to convince you how to invest in research more and more so that we can get children to become type none, not type one. thank you. focus on the poster. type one diabetes is an autoimmune disease which means that. systems which are there to protect us from infection, cancer, and other diseases, in fact, make mistakes and attacked other cells. and so when the immune system attacks they die. there

in terms of alzheimer's disease we work with the nih very closely on this.e are satisfied that they are pursuing this research in an efficient way when it comes to alzheimer's research, so we have no complaints. our medical science team. there is some administration as part of just running a big project, and it is unavoidable. but they are focused on efficiency. the point you made about what we call the professional judgment budget for alzheimer's disease -- we in the alzheimer's community the alzheimer's association, pushed for a new mechanism called the alzheimer's accountability act. it became law in december of last year. it requires that scientists of nih developed this request specifically for what they need next year and a year after that year by year, in alzheimer's research, to stay on track. today, that mechanism only exists for cancer and hiv/aids. it's important that congress hear directly from the scientist at any age -- from the scientists at nih what they need. this is also supported on a bipartisan basis. this is one of those issues where the

i said it never mentions nih once in the entire article. did you have anything to do with anything that's going on with biogen and lily? he sent me the memo with ten different elements of what basic research at nih led to these developing these new experimental drugs. so there's a linkage there. i think engaging pharma in funding some of this research. >> we had a pre-session this morning with stacy winninger who is the person who raised $217 million for this first round company denali working on neurodegenerative research. what interested me about the amount of money, which was very large, is one-third of the entire budget of the $666 million they put in. but in that, when you talk to her about this funding gap between those in the lab who develop innovative research and getting to market, those that invest earlier usually wiped out in the way equity is diluted. so there's a structural bridge that's not being met by most. so to just say that pharma should do that doesn't necessarily figure out the incentive problem. >> i'm not saying do it

i think nih should be fully funded in a smart way.here a lot of innovations for critical research. copy tatian on models to predict how pharmaceutical drugs will affect the body. trying to collect data from patients for new treatments. i think that may be a point of interest for me and for others. 92% of drugs are selling to clinical trials for several reasons. the issue of the lack of efficiency when they go from clinical trials to human clinical trials, and they show new toxicities that were not shown in animal models or other technical studies. i am wondering how the panel and bbc -- bpc is trying to find new ways to do research? senator bennett: i would say, that one of the things we need to think about, as science changes and innovation happens the velocity of change is moving faster and faster. it is clear to me that the washington regulatory agency and other agencies, will be up to the task to keeping up with that innovation. it is an observation that when you look at this, this kind of computational power that we didn't have a

>> at the nih, our total focus is on research. for us our mission is public health and finding ways to intervene and with basic science or even doing clinical trials that are going to advance public health. i think we come at it from a different perspective. different aspects of the government have different challenges. for us, it's a mission. care is also equally important. my father has alzheimer's disease. 92 now. he's doing pretty well. i'm also his primary caregiver. i can certainly see the challenges of caring. both aspects are critically important. it is a challenge, you know, to -- where to strike the balance. luckily, i have we have a lot of good people in policy that are trying to figure that out. >> well, look since i work in a for-profit company we try to identify areas where there's a high unmet medical need but the science has advanced to the point where at least we can imagine there's eventually going to be a medicine that we can produce there. so our focus is on the medicines and the diagnostic tools that go with t

>> the national science foundation's, the nih, the national science foundation's, the nih, i think those are the biggest ones that are government-funded. $40 billion a year is a big source of funds. nasa, noel, all of these agencies that put satellites into space and that fund important research in earth sciences and space science, underwater, what have you. these are all really involved in earth science in one way or another. >> thank you for this very interesting talk. in this book, you seem to characterize big science as this unstoppable freight train. i'm concerned you might be missing a certain crucial characteristic which is big science personalities. for these projects to exist it needed people to be household names but now who runs these. you needed people with political influence to make these happen. with modern big science you don't need these household names. >> in my fact book i do address that question. the generation of high profile scientists was exemplified by several on that list. of course they were in a sense the government supervisors of the manhattan project. people

a lot of what nih does is basic research.we also do translational moving than the basic science to identify new targets to get us into early-stage clinical development clinical intervention. a lot of were the bulk of our money goes is in the basic science discoveries that other people use like the pharmaceutical companies to take it further. >> to look over the future might go, this is a complex disease. i don't think we have one treated to satisfy all. as we move towards treatments that would slow the underlying pathology of the disease, once those are introduced in combination with lifestyle things that have a key role to play just like in diabetes you have to keep your lifestyle in check, et cetera. what we see from a public health point of view is down the road i don't think we will see that disease disappear. but what you would hope to see is the risk for people in a given age for developing dementia and the accompanying disability will go down. they have gone down with a better control of cholesterol and blood pressure

first i'm glad to see the nih increase in the budget. the funding, as you know it has been especially hard. i have the university of wisconsin in my district which has a lot of research going on. one of the things we have noticed because of the cutback of funding is that now the age of the average first time grant recipient is 42. used to be 36 in 1980. a lot of young research remembers looking at other areas to go into. and we want to want to keep the talent there. we have introduced a research act trying to address those concerns. i'm wondering how you would address the younger researchers. >> in term of the years we have been through recently with regard to everything from sequester to shut down. it's just like the ability to create the certainty for the small businesses. people having certainty knowing how things are going to run is how they are making their decisions. if you are making decisions to get a ph.d. in a particular area, that's a long period of time, you are making a financial commitment and you want to know there is cert

and whether we'r we are talkingt the fda or the nih, they are were given multiple priorities in a very stifling budget climate and the need to have the ability to carry out the ideas that are circling around right now. i want to keep you an example. we were having one of our bipartisan roundtables over in energy and commerce room, and francis collins turned to me and he whispered, he said, diane, if we had had full funding for the nih and we had not been under the budget cut, then we probably would've had a vaccine for ebola i know. and i said, francis, you've got to tell the whole crew. he did. he said it on the record. what he meant was because of a lot of the budget constraints, what happened was many worthwhile programs like research on ebola vaccines were put on the back burner in favor of diseases that are naturally in this case seemed to be much more of a threat. so really with all of the great breakthroughs we have going on now, we need to also be able to research the innovation. as most of you know, we passed 21st century and house at the beginning of the month. we passed it 3

you said the nih, what are the others?>> nih, those are the biggest ones that are government funded. nasa, noa, all of these -- all of these agencies that put satellites into space and that fund important research, scientists, what have you. these are all really involved in big science one way or the other. >> in this spoke you seem to characterize this siens as this unstoppable freight train. i'm concerned, household names, now who runs the lhc? you needed people to make the projects happen. with modern science you don't need -- >> in fact, in my book i do address that question. the generation of high-profile scientists xemple -- you can add many others to that list. of course, was the -- in a sense the government supervisor of the man manhattan project. they were thick on the ground in 1940s, 1950s. they began to leave the scene on 1970s. he put his personal reputation at stake before congress to get that done. and i think that goes back to what i said just a few minutes ago, which is that when you are talking programs o

you mentioned nih earlier.now that you care deeply that we continue to fund this at higher rates. we absolutely cannot fall behind the global community and how we address science and innovation. that is very, very important and i'm pleased the president has a preset funding. i also want to talk about not just the innovation piece of that, but the access fees and affordability and particularly focus on the changes you have recommended in reforming medicare part e and specifically ways you call for the budget request in terms of reducing medicare costs both for the government and the consumer and lucky not to question the giving authoritative to you in the department to negotiate drug prices in medicare part d. can you talk a little bit about that and why that is part of the budget and why you think this is so forward? >> we believe the ability as we look and address the issue brought up the question of the long-term health of medicare and how we work on not as we look at the issues driving cost we believe they a

i have people come to see me every year from the private sector to say we need nih fully funded. these are republican business people who understand that. so, we have to find a way to overcome it and i we will. i think there is a strong sense among a number of republicans that this cannot continue. >> i am hopeful to see something good come out of this meeting. i am a scientist. i left the lab because i was frustrated with the way research was being done and i agree nih should be fully funded, but it should be fully funded in the smart way. there is a lot of you-- new innovation out there for research, computational models to predict how pharmaceutical and drugs will affect the body. trying to collect data from patients to identify new targets and new treatments and i think that is maybe a point of interest for me and for other patients. 92% of drugs fall in the clinical trial for several reasons and some of those reasons are the fact that they show a lack of efficiency when they go from clinical trial to human clinical trial and they also show new toxicities that were not shown

they believe nih is a place with no legit function of the government. i don't think that is what most republicans or democrats believe. but there is a handful of people that believe it thinking it is a bolstering institution. if it is federal and investing in basic research and science they think that. i can tell you, we are at risk, it is happening in my state, of loosening a generation of alzheimer's researchers because of our inability to have the nih be able to fund the institutions across the country as they once did, through grants, which are totally unpredictable now. it is another instance where the cartoon version, my words not yours, of what the founding fathers wanted us to be is getting in the way of the real world stuff we need to get done. i have people coming to see me every year to see we need nih fully funded. we have to find a way to overcome it and i think we will. there is a strong sense among republicans this can't continue. >> i a science background. i left the lab because i was frustrated with the way research was going done. i ag

you mentioned nih earlier. i know that you care deeply that we continue to fund this at higher rates. we absolutely cannot fall behind the global community in how we address science and innovation. i think that's very, very important and i'm pleased that the president has increased that funding. but i also wanted to talk about not just the innovation piece of it, but really the access piece, and affordability. and particularly focus on the changes that you have recommended in reforming medicare part "d." specifically, in ways that you call for in the budget request in terms of reducing medicare costs, both for the government and the consumer, and looking at the question of giving authority to you, and to the department to negotiate drug prices. in medicare part "d." can you talk a little bit about that? and why that is part of the budget? and why you think that this is so important? >> i think that we believe that the ability, as we look and address the issue, one of the issues brought up, the question of the l

infrastructure, but we have seen of nih go down and inside of that budget, alzheimer's, which will create huge costs going forward, hundreds of billions of dollars of cost for families and for the government to medicaid and medicare. the amount of money being spent his something like $700 million or $800 million at the most. there are other diseases that get billions of dollars for research. we could find a cure for this. at a minimum, we ought to be able to find a delay of dementia. that is number one, recast the r&d budget for the national institute of health to be able to find a cure. secondly, we need to make sure that there is enough money for community-based care alternatives because the great tragedy, as you note of alzheimer's, is not the person lost the much about the caregivers. dementiarson who has but the caregivers. i am from florida. it is purple politically but also purple because people that have dementia this apportionment lived in my beautiful state and the caregivers, the spouse and the child and others that exist makes it harder for them to be able to live a healthy li
