DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act of 2024

The DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act of 2024 establishes a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) research program focused on Down syndrome. It requires the NIH to study medical conditions often linked to Down syndrome - such as Alzheimer's disease, heart problems, and autoimmune disorders - to develop better treatments and improve quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome. The program must coordinate existing NIH research, expand clinical trials involving people with Down syndrome, and submit biennial reports to Congress on progress. The bill authorizes $250 million annually for fiscal years 2025-2030 to fund this initiative, supplementing but not replacing current NIH funding for Down syndrome research.
