The bill increases the amount available under section 1407(1) of the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. It replaces the number "$40,395,072,000" with "$41,576,684,000" and changes punctuation in that paragraph. The amendment takes effect as if it had been included when the 2025 continuing appropriations law was enacted. The bill also directs that funds made available for Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) under that provision must be implemented in levels and in a manner consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 explanatory statement. The Secretary of Defense must ensure those funds support all research programs, peer-reviewed initiatives, and projects listed in that explanatory statement and must obligate and spend the funds to preserve program continuity and follow the specified funding allocations and research priorities identified on pages 311–314 of the explanatory statement.
If you are involved with Defense Health Agency research or Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs, this bill restores additional funding to the account referenced in section 1407(1) and requires the Department of Defense to follow the program lists, funding allocations, and research priorities set out in the cited explanatory statement. The bill text does not list the specific programs or projects; it points to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 explanatory statement for those details. No publicly available information in this bill text describes direct changes to services, timelines, or individual awards.
