This law authorizes $10 million annually from 2024 through 2028 for the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The funding is dedicated to comprehensive research on unruptured intracranial aneurysms, focusing on diverse patient populations across age, sex, and race. This investment aims to improve early detection and treatment methods, potentially saving lives and reducing the high rate of permanent neurological deficits caused by ruptures.
