Amends the Public Health Service Act to require the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, to allocate funds appropriated under this Act to the national research institutes and national centers for making grants for pediatric research representing important areas of emerging scientific opportunities, rising public health challenges, or knowledge gaps that deserve special emphasis and would benefit from conducting or supporting additional research that involves collaboration between two or more national research institutes or national centers, or would otherwise benefit from strategic coordination and planning.
This paragraph is absolute proof the GOP is ending the funding to the National Institute of Health to provide even more money to private industry. The GOP is assuming that private industry has the facilities and interest in conducting this research at all. I do recall how private industry abandons 'Orphan Drugs' such as vaccines and then there are shortages when the need arises. So, to expect private industry to pick up these monies and actually conduct the research the NIH already conducts isn't even noted here with research to that need. So, the bill is basically mute. The monies will go into a fund at the in "The Common Fund" whatever that is and sit there until the GOP comes up with a better idea to use the monies or simply place it back into the treasury.
This is typical of this Congress. They propose populous idea after populous idea into legislation. The GOP Congress this session is a Field of Dreams. "If you build it they will come."
This is nothing more than gambling with the lives of children in unproven facilities and private concerns.
This is the beginning of the defunding of the NIH.
Authorizes $13 million out of the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund for each of FY2014-FY2023 for pediatric research through the Common Fund. Requires such funds to supplement, not supplant, funds otherwise allocated by NIH for pediatric research. Prohibits the use of such amounts for any purpose other than making grants for pediatric research described in this Act.
Just for perspective "The Common Fund" (click here) in the real world is a venture capital company.
This is more of the shuffle of the House. Defunding pensions and then shifting it to spending. Same nonsense.
I want to hear from the NIH and their recognition of this bill. No differently than we needed to hear from the pensioners in the budget now proposed.
These decisions are being drawn up without significant information in allowing them to pass.
This bill was 'thunk up' in May 2013 and it is already being voted on. That is not what I call a well researched bill.

To eliminate taxpayer financing of presidential campaigns and party conventions and reprogram savings to provide for a 10-year pediatric research initiative through the Common Fund administered by the National Institutes of Health, and for other purposes....
.... SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF TAXPAYER FINANCING OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGNS.
(a) Termination of Designation of Income Tax Payments.--Section 6096 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(d) Termination.--This section shall not apply to taxable years ending on or after the date of the enactment of this subsection.''.
(b) Termination of Fund and Account.--
(1) Termination of presidential election campaign fund.--
(A) In general.--Chapter 95 of such Code is amended by adding at the end the following new section:
Just like that the US House is defunding elections in the USA. Amazing.
This is the GOP's idea of a JOBS ACT. Take from Peter to give to Paul and don't let the public know we are doing it, because it will cause job losses at NIH.
This is the way the GOP thinks of the Private Sector. It is ? not ? government, just government money.
``SEC. 9014. TERMINATION.
``The provisions of this chapter shall not apply with respect to any presidential election (or any presidential nominating convention) after the date of the enactment of this section, or to any candidate in such an election.''.
The GOP taketh and giveth away. First the bill takes money from the elections funds and for the next years those monies will be used as grants, etc. for pediatric research. Then when the ten years are up the monies are suppose to be put back into an election fund.
That is unworkable. A research institution that actually finds solutions to disease takes often more than ten years. So, after ten years these grants drop those receiving the monies in mid-air. The GOP in their 'magical thinking' believes there will be earth shaking outcomes from these then years and will translate into profits for the private institutions and therefore they are on their own.
This is amazing how completely nonsense these monies are. After the ten years of not funding elections it is them simply a matter of ending the election funding all together.

The monies left over in the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund on October 1, 2024 won't go into an election fund or the NIH for further research, it will be transferred to the General Treasury Fund.
