Someone correct me if I am reading this wrong. The NIH had a 2006 budget of $28.4 billion and $21 billion of it went to AIDS leaving 7.4 billion for everything else? Budget Request U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health The request for NIH is $28.4 billion in FY 2007, the same as the FY 2006 level for the Agency. nih.gov On February 7, 2005, the President introduced the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 federal budget request to Congress, which includes an estimated $21.0 billion for domestic and global HIV/AIDS activities. This represents a 7% increase ($1.3 billion) over FY 2005 HIV/AIDS funding of $19.7 billion, although funding for HIV/AIDS is less than 1% of the overall federal budget. Approximately $18.0 billion (86%) of the FY 2006 HIV/AIDS request is for domestic programs; $3.0 billion (14%) is for global HIV/AIDS. 64.233.169.104 * * *
