FDA would see a $39 million boost in its fiscal year (FY) 2017 spending under a budget bill lawmakers unveiled Monday. Under the [bill](https://appropriations.house.gov/UploadedFiles/05.01.17%5FFY%5F2017%5FOmnibus%5F-%5FAgriculture%5F-%5FSummary.pdf?ref=fdaweb.com), the agency would receive $2.759 billion in discretionary funding, a little over 1% increase over the FY 2016 enacted level. Total FDA funding, including user fee revenues, is $4.655 billion, which is $103 million above FY2016, which includes an additional $35.6 million to support the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act, and $10.9 million is provided to supplement medical product safety and the Precision Medicine initiatives authorized in the 21st Century Cures Act. In addition, $10 million is provided for FDA to respond to emerging health threats, including Ebola and Zika viruses. The House is expected to vote on the measure 5/3.
