A confirmation hearing for NCI Director Monica Bertagnolli will take place sometime in October, said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.
The fiscal year 2024 Labor, HHS, Education, and Related Agencies spending bill heading for approval by the House Appropriations Committee cuts NIH by $2.8 billion and NCI by $216 million.

Undeterred by NIH’s failure to address a set of questions submitted seven months ago, a House oversight committee is persisting with its investigation into handling of sexual harassment complaints at institutions that receive federal funding.
NIH and NCI received a $2.5 billion and $408 million increase, respectively, in the fiscal year 2023 omnibus appropriations package that President Joe Biden signed into law Dec. 23.
The 2024 Bypass Budget submitted by NCI Acting Director Douglas Lowy asks for $9.988 billion—$2.222 billion more than the 2023 document submitted by then director Ned Sharpless.
A House committee is requesting that NIH provide answers to 30 questions about the “pervasive culture of sexual harassment” in biomedical research.
NIH is now required by law to direct grantee institutions to report senior personnel who are disciplined for misconduct, sexual or otherwise.
Effective July 9, NIH-funded institutions that do not report relevant cases of misconduct—including sexual harassment, bullying, and retaliation—within one month would be considered to be in violation of NIH regulations and of federal law.
