Budget | NIMH

The NIMH Congressional Justification provides the Senate and House Appropriations Committees with detailed estimates and justifications for research and research support activities that NIMH would anticipate funding at the President's Budget Request level.

Note: Budget requests may have been submitted by a prior Administration and may not reflect current HHS policy.

For more information on legislation affecting NIH and legislative activities, please contact the Office of Legislative Policy and Analysis  (OLPA).

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce  and the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee  have jurisdiction over biomedical research and development, and thus over the NIH and NIMH.

The Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education

NIMH, like all other entities supported by federal funds, receives its funding through an annual appropriations bill that must be approved by both the House and the Senate and signed by the President. Links to House  and Senate  Appropriations Committees.
