National Institutes of Health (NIH) Provisions

Expiring in 2023



June  8, 2023

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), based in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
is the primary federal agency responsible for medical and health research. NIH is made up of 27 Institutes
and Centers and the Office of the Director (OD). In addition, Congress established a new agency in
FY2022-the  Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)-that is housed within NIH. In
FY2023, NIH has a total program level of $49.2 billion, which includes $1.5 billion for ARPA-H and
$47.7 billion for NIH Institutes and Centers and OD.
NIH programs are mostly authorized through the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), specifically PHSA
Section 301 and Title IV. Some of NIH's authorizations are expiring in 2023 or have previously expired.
For the most part, NIH is funded by annual discretionary appropriations and has continued to receive
annual appropriations, including where authorizations of appropriations have expired. However, NIH
receives some mandatory appropriations and some funding subject to unique budgetary rules scheduled to
expire in 2023.

Authorizations of Discretionary Appropriations

NIH-Wide Authorization
There is an authorization of appropriations for all of NIH (PHSA Title IV) in PHSA Section
402A(a)(1), which expired in FY2020 (42 U.S.C. @282a(a)(1)). This NIH-wide authorization of
appropriations was established through the NIH Reform Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-482), which consolidated
all of the authorizations of appropriations for specific NIH programs into one single authorization of
appropriations for the entire agency. This provision was most recently reauthorized through the 21St
Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255) from FY2018 through FY2020. Congress has continued to appropriate
NIH funding through annual appropriations laws.
FY2024  Request: The Biden Administration proposed a total FY2024 appropriation of $47.9 billion
under PHSA Section 402A(a)(1).
