The Senate Committee on Appropriations approved the FY 2013 Labor, Health & Human Services, Education and Related Agencies appropriations bill (S. 1284) by a vote of 16-14.

Fogarty International Center. Additional funding for global health programs and research conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is not yet available.
Note: The majority of U.S. global health funding is provided through the State & Foreign Operations appropriations bill which has not yet been introduced.
