President Obama Releases FY 2010 Budget
The President released his proposed FY 2010 budget on May 7. If Congress adopts the proposal as written most of the principal agencies that support health services research will be flat funded.
Our preliminary analysis of the Department for Health and Human Services Budget indicates the president requests:
- $372 million for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; which represents flat funding over the FY 2009 level
- Nearly $139 million for CDC's National Center for Health Statistics; an increase of nearly $14 million over the FY 2009 level
- $31.17 million for CDC's public health research program (flat funded)
- $30.8 billion for the National Institutes of Health, an increase of $443 million over FY 2009.
