Spending panels for the U.S. House of Representatives kicked off the 2023 federal budget cycle by recommending healthy increases for several research agencies.
Spending panels for the U.S. House of Representatives kicked off the 2023 federal budget cycle this week by recommending healthy increases for several research agencies. In some cases, however, those increases fall below the much larger boosts President Joe Biden has requested. At the same time, lawmakers bucked that trend by adding to Biden’s meager request for the National Institutes of Health .
Those panels began meeting last week, and the full spending committee is expected to approve all the bills by the end of the month. A parallel committee in the Senate has not yet started the identical process, however, and most observers don’t expect Congress to complete work on the 2023 budget until after the November midterm elections.The nation’s single largest research agency would get $47.46 billion, a $2.5 billion increase, or 5.6% over this fiscal year’s level.
The overall rise of 9% is nearly identical to the 9.7% increase allocated to the appropriations subcommittee that oversees NSF, which also funds the Justice and Commerce departments. “The top priority in this bill is public safety,” noted the panel’s chairman, Representative Matt Cartwright , referencing the most recent mass shootings and rising crime rates in many cities.
