A bipartisan omnibus agreement released by Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) for FY 2017 highlights a: • $2 billion increase in NIH funding • $801 million for fighting opioid abuse, and • continues $852 million pursuant to the 21st Century Cures Act. The NIH funding adds $400 million to research Alzheimer’s disease, and includes an additional $476 million for the National Cancer Institute. The appropriations bill contains $161 billion in base discretionary spending for Labor-HHS through the end of September, and does not address funding for 2018.
