From press release:
Washington, DC – Congressman Chris Gibson (NY-19) has authored bipartisan legislation to require the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to audit available research on vector-borne diseases like Lyme disease.
H.R. 4701, the Vector-Borne Disease Research Transparency and Accountability Act of 2014, would form working groups on at least two high-incidence diseases to develop a scientific framework on how to move forward to fill gaps in research and patient care.
The working groups would include relevant federal officials, non-federal physicians who treat Lyme, non-federal scientists, researchers, members of the patient community, and additional members appointed by Congress to ensure a diversity of perspectives and balanced representation.
