What it does
The bill would authorize the Director of the National Institutes of Health to establish and carry out the INCLUDE Project, a program focused on research, training, and investigation related to Down syndrome across the lifespan. It aims to improve understanding of Down syndrome and co-occurring conditions, expand inclusive clinical trials, study biological mechanisms and quality-of-life factors, and coordinate NIH efforts to avoid duplication. The bill requires biennial reports to Congress detailing the research conducted and its potential applications for clinical care. It affects individuals with Down syndrome, their families, researchers, and NIH institutes involved in related studies.
