Executive Summary
CDRH would receive in fiscal year 2009 an additional $40.4 million over the previous year's funding levels under a bill that passed the Senate Appropriations Committee July 17. The measure would give FDA a total of $2.04 billion in appropriations for FY 2009, including $278.4 million for the device center and related field activities. That means the agency would have $324.6 million more for FY 2009 than in FY 2008 - and $5.2 million more than President Bush requested. With the expanded FDA funding, the committee wants $104 million spent on device, drug and biologic safety to increase overseas and domestic inspections, and $40 million to upgrade science programs across the agency. The House Appropriations Committee has yet to sign off on funding levels, and Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., has suggested that a continuing resolution is likely ("The Silver Sheet" July 2008)
