It is unlikely that the budget committees of the House and Senate will pass a budget resolution in this fiscal year.  The budget resolution provides the allocations to appropriations subcommittees establishing how much money they have to distribute among their relevant agencies.  However, a resolution is not required for the appropriations subcommittees to start the bill mark-up process.  The mark-up schedule has been set, and the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies, which funds NIH, is at the end of the schedule.
