The Trump administration has informed the House Appropriations Committee of plans to divert more than $100 million in funding for healthcare research to other agencies, putting those funds at risk of lapsing at the end of the fiscal year on September 30, when the funding expires. Of the $100 million, information on just $35 million has been shared with the Committee. It is not clear what the administration intends to do with the remaining $65 million. However, funding transferred via an interagency agreement (IAA) still expires at the end of the fiscal year, raising questions about the administration’s motivation for the move.
