                   RECOGNIZING MEDICAL RESEARCH WEEK

  (Mr. CARSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce a resolution 
recognizing Medical Research Week from September 16 through September 
20, 2024.
  This bipartisan resolution recognizes the breakthroughs of medical 
research improving health outcomes, securing global competitiveness, 
boosting job creation, educating the next generation of scientists, and 
strengthening our economic growth.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent Indiana's Seventh District which 
has become a healthcare and innovation hub in America. In my district 
alone, the NIH has contributed $264 million in grants to 9 different 
research sites in 2023. In Indiana the NIH has supported 5,300 jobs for 
Hoosiers and over $1.1 billion of economic activity.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this 
resolution.
