What this bill would do
This bill is known as the National Diabetes Project Act and establishes the National Diabetes Project within the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The main purpose of the project is to create and maintain an integrated national plan to overcome diabetes, coordinate research and services across federal agencies, and accelerate the development of treatments. It also aims to improve early diagnosis, care coordination, and the inclusion of higher-risk ethnic and racial populations to decrease health disparities. Additionally, the bill establishes an Advisory Council on Diabetes Research, Care, and Services to provide advice and submit annual evaluations and recommendations to the Secretary and Congress. The project is required to submit annual reports and will expire on December 31, 2036.
