WASHINGTON — House appropriators will mark up legislation on Tuesday that is a mixed bag for researchers. While the Republican bill rejects President Trump’s proposal to slash the National Institutes of Health budget, it proposes deep cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health agencies. 

The House Appropriations Committee released funding legislation for the Department of Health and Human Services ahead of the 5 p.m. subcommittee markup. 

It would fund the NIH at $48 billion next year, about the same level as this year, compared to the 40% cut in funding sought by the Trump administration. The bill also retains all 27 NIH institutes and centers, ignoring the White House’s consolidation proposal for the nation’s largest funder of biomedical research. It also would leave out health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposed Administration for a Healthy America.
