Recognizing the contributions of medical research and observing "Medical Research Week" from September 15 through September 19, 2025.
HRES 708 is a symbolic resolution designating September 15-19, 2025, as "Medical Research Week" to honor the contributions of medical research. It recognizes the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for driving health breakthroughs, supporting over 400,000 jobs, and boosting economic growth through research on diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. The resolution contains no policy changes or funding provisions - it solely encourages public acknowledgment of medical research’s role in improving health and the economy.
