Washington Roundup: White House budget proposal for 2015 takes $3M away from CDRH -medicaldevicedaily: The Office of Management and Budget released a budget proposal for fiscal 2015, and the funding for operations at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health would take a hit of $3 million by one account. The Obama administration's proposal would boost funding for FDA as a whole by $25 million, however, with the agency's food center taking in an additional $20 million, while the drug center would snare an additional $12 million. One pertinent question is whether the budget proposal has any meaning given the two-year budget deal struck recently by the House and Senate.
