Spending: about $350,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
Agencies lobbied since 2010: House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, House of Representatives,, Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Lobbyists
Lobbyists named here were listed on a filing related to this lobbying engagement. They may not be working on it now. Occasionally, a single lobbyist whose name is spelled two different ways on filings may be represented twice here.
Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.

Orlando Healths Childrens Advocacy Center program. Advocate for federal funding that will ensure that the thousands of families that experience child abuse each year in Orange County, Florida are able to access the services needed to help them recover and heal. Funding will be used to sustain existing child advocates and therapists, and other costs, as well as expand the programs capacity to provide services, with the addition of two child advocates and four therapists. This will expand access to vital rehabilitation and recovery services for victims of child abuse.
Orlando Healths M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Nano-medicine for Radiation Protection of U.S. Armed Forces. Advocate for federal funding to support a drug discovery program to improve the survival of, provide faster recovery for, and limit or eliminate drug side effects experienced by US military men and women after exposure to high levels of radiation. The funding will be used to create a platform where scientists can study the effect of radiation on nanoparticles with or without cells. Specifically, scientists will identify the form of nanoceria that provides the most effective level of radioprotection. This research will ultimately lead to the development of an effective drug for the treatment of radiation exposure for military personnel who are exposed to high doses of radiation during service to our country. This will be the first feasibility study of the effect of nano-medicine for radioprotection. The requested fudning will finance research on radioprotection for soldiers, and ultimately civilians, who must undergo radiation therapies for illnesses.
