Congressional Budget Justifications

The NIH Congressional Justification ("CJ") provides the Senate and House Appropriations Committees detailed estimates and justifications for research and research support activities (infrastructure, administrative, etc.) that NIH would anticipate funding at the President's Budget Request level.

One part of the CJ, "Significant Items," are NIH's response to language in the previous fiscal year's House and Senate Appropriations Committee Reports.
