Medical Research Funding Increase Expected With New Budget Deal

Medical research funding is all but guaranteed an increase in 2020, after the White House and Congress reached an agreement on a budget, a research advocate says.
President Donald Trump and congressional leaders agreed July 22 to raise spending caps and suspend the debt limit until July 2021, a move that would avoid a default on federal payments and steep spending cuts, as long as both chambers can pass the measure and the president signs it into law.
