Bill overview
This bill, the Liver Illness Visibility, Education, and Research Act of 2021, aims to improve the understanding and treatment of liver diseases like liver cancer and hepatitis. It directs the National Institutes of Health to expand research efforts, establish a working group for coordination, and create grant programs for prevention, diagnostics, and awareness campaigns, particularly targeting Asian American and Pacific Islander communities who are disproportionately affected. The bill also renames the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive, Kidney, and Liver Diseases and establishes a national data system and information clearinghouse for liver disease research.
