“The House cleared a “minibus” spending bill for fiscal 2019 that bumps up funding for several health agencies including NIH and AHRQ, according to a summary and text released Thursday night.”
“The bill includes $90.5 billion for HHS, $2.3 billion above the current fiscal year. It gives an additional $2 billion to NIH, and an additional $86 million to the All of Us research program, which aims to collect biospecimens and health data from a million donors. The Cancer Moonshot would get $400 million, a $100 million uptick from fiscal 2018.” Read the full newsletter here.
