Became Law

Summary

Extends and reorganizes federal pediatric research funding to strengthen child health science. It moves the pediatric initiative out of the NIH Common Fund into the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives and extends the program through 2024–2028.

Show full summary
  • Families and children: Pediatric research funding is continued through 2024–2028, keeping federal support available for child health studies and clinical projects.
  • NIH operations: The bill relocates the Pediatric Research Initiative funding and updates legal references so the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives manages the program instead of the Common Fund.
  • Oversight and accountability: The NIH Director must coordinate pediatric research, prioritize studies that do not duplicate existing NIH work, and submit a progress and investment report within five years to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions that lists funded projects and summarizes advances.

NIH kids’ research extended and refocused

The law extends NIH’s pediatric research program from 2014–2023 to 2024–2028. It moves the funding from the Common Fund to NIH’s Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives. NIH gives priority, as appropriate, to pediatric research that does not repeat existing NIH work. NIH continues to oversee this research, and HHS must report progress to Congress within five years. These changes take effect upon enactment.
