The bill would provide a total $48.851 billion for the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) base, including funding provided through the 21st Century Cures Act and $1.2 billion in emergency funding. The funding level would represent $2.05 billion in new discretionary spending for NIH’s base, and a net increase of $1.77 billion over the comparable FY 2024 level due to a scheduled $280 million decrease in Cures funding in FY 2025, which the bill would restore among increases in other specific areas. Additionally, the bill would maintain funding for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) at the FY 2024 level of $1.5 billion.
The House Committee on Appropriations advanced its funding bill earlier this summer, which allocated $48.5 billion in total funding for NIH, $500 million to ARPA-H, and proposed to consolidate the 27 NIH institutes and centers. The Senate bill does not include the structural reforms or other new policy provisions included in the House committee’s bill.
