FDA commissioner **Marty Makary** is set to testify 5/22 at a Senate appropriations subcommittee [hearing](https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/hearings/a-review-of-the-presidents-fiscal-year-2026-budget-request-for-the-food-and-drug-administration?ref=fdaweb.com) on the agency’s fiscal year 2026 budget request. The White House earlier this month released its budget proposal, which included a significant overall reduction in non-defense discretionary spending, but specific details about FDA’s budget were not provided. However, the budget request's cuts to the broader HHS and its various agencies, including CDC and NIH, were significant. It called for HHS’ overall budget to be reduced by 26.2%, with a total of $93.8 billion.
