The National Institutes of Health, which is currently being funded through a continuing resolution set to expire on December 18, has been included in an omnibus of six of the remaining appropriations bills that have not been signed by the President. According to the conference agreement reached between House and Senate negotiators yesterday, NIH will receive $31 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2010, an increase of $692 million above the FY 2009 level, not considering additional funds the agency received in FY 2009 through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The House may take up the measure as early as this week.
