Future of FDA Budget Unclear As Appropriations Bill Pulled

摘要

Fiscal 2011 funding for the FDA remains in limbo as Senate leaders pulled a massive omnibus appropriations bill that would have increased the agency's budget to $3.75 billion, including user fees. That's $250 million less than the agency requested.rnNot including user fees, the FDA would have received $2.5 billion in federal funds under the bill, $37 million above the president's request and $195 million above the fiscal 2010 enacted level.
