According to the LLS, here is the information on the Fiscal Year 2010:
$31 billion for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a $691 million, or 2.3 percent, increase over the agency's FY09 budget. Included in this amount is a 2.8 percent increase for the National Cancer Institute (NCI), bringing its FY10 budget to $5.1 billion, and $212 million for the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, a 2.7 percent increase over FY09.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also received a $30.04 million increase over FY09 in the omnibus bill, bringing the CDC's overall FY10 budget to $370.34 million. The CDC provides funding for several programs that are important to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and blood cancer patients, including $4.67 million for the Geraldine Ferraro Blood Cancer Education Program; $20.69 million for Comprehensive Cancer Control; $5 million for a Patient Navigator Program; and $1.01 for the Cancer Survivorship Center, a new program.
Cancer advocates will be pushing for an increase of 13.5 percent for both NIH and NCI in FY11, increasing the institutes' budgets to $35.2 billion and $5.795 billion, respectively. Included in those budgets requests are $30 million to fund the Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act and $6 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Geraldine Ferraro Blood Cancer Program.
