Biomedical Research Funding Bill: Prioritizing National Investment

Main Subject: Health

American Cures Act

This bill permanently funds several federal agencies and programs that perform biomedical research.

The bill provides specified funding for

the National Institutes of Health,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the Department of Defense health program, and
the Department of Veterans Affairs medical and prosthetics research program.

The bill exempts the funding from sequestration, which is a process of automatic, usually across-the-board spending reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently cancelled to enforce specific budget policy goals.

It also exempts the budgetary effects of the funding from the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010 and the Senate PAYGO rule.
