Roll Call - House Republican appropriators plan to disregard the White House’s proposed 40 percent cut to the National Institutes of Health budget for fiscal 2026, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.
Instead, the funding levels being discussed are similar to what’s currently appropriated, they said.
Republicans in the Senate are likely to follow suit, after multiple lawmakers in that chamber emphasized the importance of investing in medical research and expressed skepticism about the proposed cuts.
The White House in May proposed the agency receive $27.9 billion, about $18 billion lower than fiscal 2025 enacted levels, and laid out a plan for it to reorganize or combine several of its institutes.
