Innovation for new COPD therapies and early diagnosis can only happen because of research, and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded research is responsible for many of these activities. Unfortunately, NIH funding—and consequently research for new COPD therapies—has recently been under attack. Join us for a conversation with COPD Foundation’s Senior Manager of Advocacy and Public Policy Bailey McCrary, Director of Education Jonnie Korinko, MSRC, RRT, RRT-ACCS, and MeiLan Han, MD, MS, about what this means for our community and what you can do.
