Eshoo outlines health research funding bill

Eshoo outlines health research funding bill-massdevice: Rep. Anna Eshoo, one of the Democrats racing to lead the party on the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee next year, introduced a bill on Thursday to grant $150 billion in new health research funding. The bill would set up a mandatory trust fund for the National Institutes of Health and other health programs, including the CDC. It would not be subject to the annual appropriations process and would authorize the $150 billion over 10 years.
