Plain-English Summary

The federal government would establish and fund a new research program focused on cerebral palsy, a neurological condition affecting movement and muscle control that impacts hundreds of thousands of Americans. This program would support scientists and medical researchers working to better understand the condition, develop new treatments, and improve care for people living with cerebral palsy and their families. The funding would come through the National Institutes of Health and help advance medical knowledge that could lead to better outcomes for patients.
