Senate and House Diverge on Proposed 2024 Funding for NIH, NCI, ARPA-H

August 1, 2023

As part of the 2024 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations process, the Senate Appropriations Committee has approved its bill which includes:

  • $943 million increase for the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
  • $276 million increase for the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
  • $1.5 billion for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)

Meanwhile, the full House Appropriations Committee is yet to markup and approve their version of the bill which includes:

  • $2.8 billion cut to the NIH
  • $216 million cut to the NCI
  • $1 billion cut to ARPA-H

With both chambers out for August recess, significant work remains to be done to reach a compromise on these numbers upon their return. ASTRO will continue to advocate for critical funding increases for their programs and provide updates as the situation develops in September.
