Summary
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) may be headed for its largest budget increase of more than a decade. Last week, a Senate committee has approved an increase of $ 2 billion for NIH in 2016, or an increase of 6.6% to $ 32.1 billion. And a committee of the House of Representatives approved an increase of $ 1.2 billion, $ 100 million more than requested by the White House. Bills that set spending levels for fiscal year 2016 that begins Oct. 1, also give a boost to heavy unexpectedly to research on Alzheimer's disease and revive the National Children's Study recently canceled. "The brand of the Senate is obviously the best ... the action that we saw for the NIH in 12 years," says Pat White, president of ACT for NIH, Washington, a group that advocates for funding of biomedical research. But some groups are concerned by the provisions of both bills either slash or eliminate funding from the Agency for healthcare research and quality (AHRQ), which supports the established medical school evidence. Although the House and Senate have yet to agree on a final number, a process that could be complicated by debates on the government defenders of research spending and long-term biomedical "start from a very good position," said Jennifer Zeitzer, deputy director of the public Affairs Office of the Federation of American societies for experimental biology in Bethesda, Maryland.
