The House Commerce, Justice, Science, and Labor, Health, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittees released fiscal year (FY) 2023 funding proposals this week. The two bills cover the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). These bills reflect Democratic priorities, and final appropriations legislation will need bipartisan support to pass the Senate.
The House bills include:
NIH: $47.5 billion, a $2.5 billion increase over FY 22.
- ARPA-H: $2.75 billion, a $1.75 billion increase.
- Includes an across-the-board increase of 3.2 percent for NIH Institutes and Centers.
NSF: 9.63 billion, a $793.2 million increase.
- R&RA: $7.7 billion, a $546.1 million increase.
- STEM Education (formerly known as Education and Human Resources): $1.25 billion, a $255 million increase.
IES: $844 million, a 107 million increase.
- Notably, $75 million of this increase is allocated to establish a new National Center for Advanced Development in Education.
