## Summary

**This bill would create a focused, multi-year research program to expand knowledge and improve care for unruptured intracranial aneurysms.** It emphasizes diverse study populations and directs dedicated funding to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to broaden understanding and management of this condition. - Families and patients: About 6.8 million Americans have an unruptured brain aneurysm and roughly 30,000 ruptures happen each year. Many ruptures are deadly or leave survivors with lasting neurological damage and large medical bills. - Health equity and demographics: Aneurysms are more common in women and the bill directs research to include diverse age, sex, and race groups because rupture risk is higher in Black and Hispanic populations. - Researchers and NINDS funding: The bill authorizes $20 million per year for five years, totaling $100 million, for NINDS to conduct or support broader research and requires those funds to supplement existing brain aneurysm research. *Authorizes up to $100 million in appropriations for NINDS over five years.*
