A House Appropriations subcommittee 6/11 voted out a fiscal year 2025 budget for FDA that slashes President Biden’s recently requested agency funding by $450 million (6%). In March, Biden proposed $7.2 billion for FDA ([see story](https://www.fdaweb.com/500-million-boost-to-fda-in-presidents-budget-proposal/)), but now the subcommittee markup has only approved $6.75 billion, including user fees.

If adopted, Biden’s proposal would have boosted FDA’s spending by $500 million more than the current spending level (FY 2024) of $6.7 billion. The proposed increase would “enhance food safety and nutrition, advance medical product safety, help support supply chain resiliency, strengthen the agency’s public-health and mission-support capacity, and modernize the FDA’s infrastructure and facilities,” according to budget documents.
