House Appropriations Committee Releases FY 2023 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor HHS) Appropriations Bill

The House Appropriations Committee released the FY 2023 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor HHS) appropriations bill on June 23, 2022 and accompanying report on June 29, 2022. The Labor HHS appropriations bill includes funding for U.S. global health programs provided to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and funding for global health research activities provided to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Total global health funding at CDC and NIH through the Labor HHS bill is not yet known, as funding for some programs at NIH is determined at the agency level rather than specified by Congress in annual appropriations bills. Funding for global health programs at CDC totals $757.8 million, an increase of $111 million (17%) above the FY 2022 enacted level ($646.8 million) and $10 million (1%) above the President’s FY 2023 request ($747.8 million). The increase is almost entirely for funding for the global public health protection program. See the table below (downloadable table here) for additional detail on global health funding. See the KFF budget tracker for details on historical annual appropriations for global health programs.
