Congress Increases National Institutes of Health Funding, Strengthens Patient Transparency, and Extends Telehealth

Congress recently passed its fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill for the NIH,
securing more than $47 billion for the agency and several key health reforms championed by the cystic fibrosis community ([link removed]). This is a step forward for the future of medical research funding and for the important work being done to develop treatments and an eventual cure for CF.

From the CF Community Blog: Finding Community Through an Unexpected Hobby

Keshav Harpavat turned his passion for music into
an opportunity to help members of the cystic fibrosis community. ([link removed])
His organization, Pipes for the People, teaches people with CF how to play the chanter, a smaller, flute-like version of the highland bagpipe, to help potentially improve breathing capacity. Keshav continues to grow this project, even receiving an Impact Grant from the Foundation, and is always looking for more ways to support the CF community.
