Deondra Dixon Include Project Act of 2026
The Senate passed S. 1838, the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act, which puts into law an existing NIH research program on Down syndrome. Senator Hickenlooper, introducing the bill by unanimous consent, said Down syndrome research has been underfunded and that the program has encouraged NIH research into new treatments. Senator Collins joined in welcoming passage of the bill alongside another measure. Members also used the session to thank advocacy groups such as the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, and other time went to unrelated remarks on student loans and energy grants, and to Senator Cassidy honoring a departing staff member.Written by AI from the debate.
