This piece in Science:
*confirms that the push for multi-year funding is coming from White House, against NIH wishes
*White House is deliberately slowing spending already appropriated to then cut it via rescission
www.science.org/content/arti...
NIH also faces a more immediate threat: the loss of money it has already been awarded. Trump policies have slowed agency spending so much that Berg estimates the agency is at least $6 billion behind in its spending. As a result, a large portion of its $49 billion budget could go back to the U.S. Department of the Treasury when the fiscal year ends on 30 September. In principle the administration could claw back the money in a so-called rescission, like the one that recently cut billions from global health and public broadcasting. In their 25 July letter to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the 14 Republican senators wrote that “suspension of these appropriated funds – whether formally withheld or functionally delayed — could threaten Americans’ ability to access better treatments and limit our nation’s leadership in biomedical science.”
