SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) President Franklin Roosevelt’s personal 
struggle with polio led him to create the National 
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (now known as 
the March of Dimes) on January 3, 1938, at a time 
when polio was on the rise. 
(2) The Foundation established patient aid pro-
grams and funded research for polio vaccines devel-
oped by Jonas Salk, MD, and Albert Sabin, MD. 
(3) Tested in a massive field trial in 1954 that 
involved 1.8 million schoolchildren known as ‘‘polio 
pioneers’’, the Salk vaccine was licensed for use on 
April 12, 1955 as ‘‘safe, effective, and potent’’. The 
Salk and Sabin polio vaccines funded by the March 
of Dimes ended the polio epidemic in the United 
States. 
(4) With its original mission accomplished, the 
Foundation turned its focus to preventing birth de-
fects, prematurity, and infant mortality in 1958. 
The Foundation began to fund research into the ge-
netic, prenatal, and environmental causes of over 
3,000 birth defects. 
(5) The Foundation’s investment in research 
has led to 13 scientists winning the Nobel Prize
