A U.S. Senate appropriations panel today released a spending bill that calls for giving the National Institutes of Health (NIH) a $2 billion, 5.4% increase in the 2019 fiscal year that begins 1 October.

The bill, which will be voted on by the full Senate appropriations panel later this week, arrives just weeks after a House spending panel proposed a $1.25 billion raise. The House and Senate numbers are well above President Donald Trump's $34.2 billion budget request for NIH. The numbers suggest the agency is headed for another strong year in the budget process; Congress has approved hefty increases for the agency each of the last few years.
