Expand Research Funding and Clinical Trial Access

Federal funding for ALS research must be expanded exponentially to provide new treatment options to cure and prevent ALS. Federal research dollars need to be focused on discoveries that will improve the lives of people living with ALS today, while we search for ways to end ALS.

Enhance Financial Support Systems

The federal government must ensure coverage of new ALS treatments.

Improve Healthcare Access and Coverage

Congress must act to improve the lives of people living with ALS and their loved ones by supporting policies that will positively impact their lives.
