From MLA HQ:
Health and Medicine Counsel of Washington reports that yesterday evening the Senate passed the FY 2009 Omnibus Appropriations package by voice vote. This spending measure increases the annual budgets for many federal health and education programs. Upon enactment, the National Institutes of Health will receive a $938 million funding increase to bring the agency’s total level of support up to $30.3 billion. President Barack Obama has indicated he will sign the legislation. In the next few days, our Washington representatives will send us funding details for NLM and various health programs and initiatives.
Please see the Washington Post article [here] for additional details. We will provide a more comprehensive analysis of the FY 2009 funding for federal health programs in the near future.
