- Abstract
This article reports on a bill signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on December 30, 2005. The bill, which cuts the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget, is the first such reduction since 1970. The NIH had seen its budget double between 1999 and 2003. The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill allocates $28.6 billion to NIH for fiscal year 2006, a 0.1% decrease from 2005. However, federal research and development spending will grow by $2.2 billion to about $135 billion, an increase of 1.7%.
