Ellie’s Law

Would fund targeted federal research on unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The bill directs the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to support broader, more diverse studies and cites that about 6.8 million Americans have unruptured aneurysms and roughly 30,000 ruptures occur each year. It highlights higher risk in women and nearly double rupture risk for African American and Hispanic people, notes ruptures are fatal in about 50 percent of cases, and that about 66 percent of survivors have lasting neurological deficits. *Would authorize $10.0 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2030, totaling $50.0 million in authorized research funds, available through September 30, 2033, and required to supplement existing brain aneurysm research funding.*
