Legislation supplies additional $10 billion for biomed research
A new act passed this year has brought direct changes to the number of research funding applications from the Washington University School of Medicine. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided an additional $10 billion from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to be allocated for biomedical research over the period of two fiscal years. The roughly estimated $20 billion per year available for biomedical research projects from the NIH has increased by around 25 percent to approximately $25 billion per year.
