Our coalition has endorsed the Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research FY 2024 funding recommendation, which would provide the NIH with $50.924 billion in funding, a $3.465 billion increase over the agency’s FY 2023 level. In light of our support for this funding increase at NIH, we also call for NICHD to receive a proportionate increase, bringing its funding to $1.877 billion in FY 2024, an increase of $128 million over FY 2023. We further request that NICHD’s base budget in FY 2024 grow at the same rate as the NIH’s base budget overall in FY 2024 spending legislation. In addition, we request that any funding provided for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) funding supplement, and not supplant, the base funding for NIH and NICHD.
