IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0ADVOCACY: THE ALS ASSOCIATION FLORIDA CHAPTER SUPPORTED THE ALS ASSOCIATION'S ADVOCACY AGENDA, WHICH CONSISTS OF THREE PRIORITIES INCLUDING APPROPRIATIONS, LEGISLATION, AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS, AS FOLLOWS:APPROPRIATIONS - THE ALS ASSOCIATION FLORIDA CHAPTER SUPPORTED THE ALS ASSOCIATION'S NATIONAL APPROPRIATION EFFORTS, INCLUDING APPROPRIATION OF $10 MILLION TO CONTINUE THE ALS REGISTRY AND APPROPRIATION OF $10 MILLION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) ALS RESEARCH PROGRAM. ONGOING APPROPRIATIONS ARE NEEDED TO CONTINUE THE REGISTRY, COORDINATE FEDERAL EFFORTS TO COMBAT ALS, HELP PEOPLE ENROLL IN THE REGISTRY AND CONDUCT OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. FUNDING IS USED TO LINK THE REGISTRY TO EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES AND RESEARCH INTO BIOMARKERS, RISK FACTORS, AND CLINICAL STUDIES TO IDENTIFY NEW TREATMENTS. THE DOD RESEARCH PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO TRANSLATE BASIC SCIENCE INTO NEW TREATMENTS FOR ALS BY FUNDING INNOVATIVE PROJECTS THAT FILL IN THE GAPS AND COMPLEMENT RESEARCH AT THE NIH.
