The $787 billion economic stimulus bill approved by Congress will, for the first time, provide substantial amounts of money for the NIH and for related Health Concerns which were highlighted in the stimulus package summary previously presented.
Included in this Omnibus package is the FY 2009 Labor-HHS-Educations Appropriations bill. Currently, most Federal health and education programs are funded at their FY 2008 levels by a continuing resolution (CR) that will expire on March 6. Recognizing that the CR is set to expire, it is likely that appropriators will work to advance this legislation in the near future. Below are the preliminary details on the funding within this package.
