The Keystone State has unlocked $5 million in new funding for neurodegenerative disease research. On November 12, 2025, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed the state’s annual budget, which also includes the authorization for the creation of the Neurodegenerative Disease Research Program, that will be operated by the state's Department of Health. The $5 million will be used to fund research grants to support scientists driving critical discoveries at academic clinical medical centers across the state. This effort was spearheaded in the state legislature by Representative Kyle Mullins, who partnered with Representative Bryan Cutler to lead a bipartisan effort to officially secure the funding as part of the state’s $50.1 billion budget.
