Summary

Raises statutory funding ranges for the Reagan‑Udall Foundation for the FDA and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health. The law sets each foundation's minimum authorized funding at $1.3 million and their maximum at $5 million, giving both organizations a larger statutory funding envelope while actual dollars remain subject to annual appropriations and agency administration.

Higher funding caps for NIH and FDA foundations

The law raises the funding range for two health foundations. The Foundation for the NIH and the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA can receive $1.25 million to $5 million, up from $500,000 to $1.25 million. This change takes effect upon enactment. The law does not itself provide the money; funds still depend on future appropriations. Most households may see only indirect benefits from research and public health work.
