A US House of Representatives subcommittee this week proposed cutting $285 million in funding for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), an 11.5% decrease. While FDA funding comes from industry-paid user fees as well as from Congress, the cuts would force the already heavily burdened FDA to assess its priorities and maximize efficiencies. Altogether, FDA’s total budget next year, including both fees and Congressional funding, would be $3.7 billion.
