Lawmakers Hew to 'Doubling' Track NIH Gets Another Record Budget
Though the agency had to wait nearly 3 months for it,
and through a string of continuing resolutions that went
into the teens, NIH emerged Dec. 29 with another
record-setting budget for fiscal year 2001, totalling
$20.3 billion, or about $1.5 billion more than the
President had requested. The increase of nearly 14
percent over last year's mark of $17.8 billion keeps
NIH on a pace legislators have set to double the
agency's budget in the period 1998-2003.
Project Links Native Americans to Medical Information
Computers and the Internet — they're everywhere, right?
Unfortunately, no. Some people have been left out of the digital revolution — the
poor, the elderly, rural populations and minorities such as Native Americans. But
for one Indian community just miles from NIH, they're right in the middle of the
action. |
