NCI is temporarily reducing its paylines as the federal government is being funded at FY2024 levels via a continuing resolution that extends until Dec. 20, delaying the budgeting process for most federal agencies in the new fiscal year.
As NCI paylines drop to 4%, cancer centers are tapping into their institutional funds to provide “bridge funding,” typically in $50,000 to $100,000 increments, to enable investigators to keep their labs open until better times return—next year God willing.
