Gabriella Miller of Leesburg, Virginia was a girl who died of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a rare form of brain cancer on October 26, 2013, at the age of 10.

[2] The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on May 16, 2013, by Rep. Gregg Harper (R, MS-3).

[7] According to Rep. Eric Cantor, the bill "clearly reflects Congressional priorities in funding: medical research before political parties and conventions.

The opposition, as stated in a Dear Colleague Letter, noted that the legislation had "completely bypassed the committee process," and therefore lacked the benefit of "discussion and debate as to what would be the most effective way of increasing financial support for pediatric biomedical research."

"[9] Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) noted that "it's hard to imagine that there would be any objection to moving these funds to something we can all agree is a high priority - pediatric research.

"[10] The bill was opposed by some campaign finance reform groups who were skeptical that the money would actually be appropriated to the NIH.
