nih needs money. the vast majority of nih funding comes from taxpayers. in 1990, congress established the foundation for the national institutes of health, a nonprofit foundation that solicits private donations to support nih research. that means that if a drug company or device company or big tech company or a lobbying firm wants to fund nih research, they can do so by donating to the nih foundation. dr. collins, according to the most recent list of donors, the top six largest contributors to the foundation of nih are all drug companies. each of these companies has donated to the foundation every year for at least the past 15 years. let me ask -- do you agree science should be setting the agenda at nih and not donors? director collins: absolutely. senator warren: i understand that is how it is supposed to work. nih comes up with a plan based on science and the foundation gets donations to fund it. when you have your hand up for cash, it is sometimes possible that these lines get blurred. nih recently canceled a study of the health effects of alcohol cons

nih funded research is full of innovative ideas. let me share just one example that the theme of this hearing to prioritize. more than a decade ago. on final muscular atrophy and inherited disease and in its most severe form to be well or breed. the researchers discovered that mutations so to work closely with patients of industry to promising leads of development and coming from nationwide children's hospital to test gene therapy with severe disease. again they were not expected to survive more than 15 months and then injected at the spinal cord that held her breath over the next few months something truly dramatic happened. here you see in the picture with her parents those who got the highest dose were alive at 20 month they could talk in some like evelyn cannot only talk and walk but can even do push-ups. look at this video. >> did you get that? why do push-ups? i'm not good at it.

just last month, a team led by nih's dr. steven rosenberg announced a novel modification of an immunotherapy approach that led to a complete regression of widely metastatic breast cancer in a woman with universally fatal form of the disease. as always, i have to counsel patients this success story involves very few cases right now and must be replicated in further studies. but without doubt, this woman's lifesaving experience represents hope for millions more. as exciting as potential cures like this can be, in authorizing and funding the cancer moon shot, you wisely tasked nih with advancing not just cancer therapies, but also cancer care. let me tell you about an nih-funded trial that illustrates the progress we are making in had this area. each year, as many as 135,000 american women who have undergone surgery for the most common form of early stage breast cancer face a very difficult decision, whether or not to also undergo chemotherapy to improve their odds. now, banks do a large nih-funded clinical trial called trailer

now marine scientists at the nih in the basin project are conducting a new study to learn more about this unique animal. so today the last research done on this species in the past was in two thousand and one two thousand and three and since then no research so this study is the first to really investigate the quality of the species the habitat use and all these aspects will be used in on the ground conservation of this endangered species. the beauty of the noise has attracted a growing number of human residents with a negative impact on nature. the area is managed by the south african national park service says. they're not only concerned about pollution in the estuary they also want to help educate local communities about the country's only endemic sea horse so there's definitely not enough information that goes out about the sea horse which we are improving we are more in social media now and also are now various platforms there can reach as many people as possible we finding that the more people don't for example the current extract in a sea horse and going to mystic hated to kno
