This is what that bill plays with. Lots and lots of taxpayer money. Lots and lots.

These funds are investments to the future of our nation. They are well established and have proven track records. Their focus is the people of this nation and not a profit margin. Now, who is better to carry out necessary research for Gabriella Miller. A private entity without any basic research for the purpose of finding a cure, or a national research institute already prepared to do the same thing?
This exercise of the US House is unnecessary and is only a plan to defund NIH and place it in the private sector. Genetic diseases need genetic research. What do they think they are doing?

42 USC § 290 - National Institutes of Health Management Fund; establishment; advancements; availability; final adjustments of advances (click here)
For the purpose of facilitating the economical and efficient conduct of operations in the National Institutes of Health which are financed by two or more appropriations where the costs of operation are not readily susceptible of distribution as charges to such appropriations, there is established the National Institutes of Health Management Fund. ...
The demand for efficient and economical research is already written into the law. There is no more efficiency the private sector can add especially on disease that strike a small population in the USA.

SEC. 3. 10-YEAR PEDIATRIC RESEARCH INITIATIVE.
(a) Allocation of NIH Funds in Common Fund for Pediatric Research.--Paragraph (7) of section 402(b) of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 282(b)) is amended to read as follows:
``(7)(A) shall, through the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives--
``(i) identify research that represents 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 2 or more national research institutes or national centers, or would otherwise benefit from strategic coordination and planning;
Emerging scientific opportunities are already identified. The GOP wants to defund election funds along with NIH funds to set up a "Common Fund" to hand out grants to unknown private entities. You've got to be joking. This will destroy the pediatric research at the NIH. In setting up such a fund in the private sector the GOP can continue to reek havoc with government shutdowns without complaints from parents in need of such research. This is another strategy for elections.
I have stated before the GOP used the last government shutdown for research to carry out more defunding of the government. They have identified 'soft targets' that came up then and now they are seeking to provide ALTERNATIVES so they can say there are other options for the public when they shut down the NIH again.
This is the last paragraph of a very short written bill:
(c) Supplement, Not Supplant; Prohibition Against Transfer.--Funds appropriated under section 402A(a)(2) of the Public Health Service Act, as added by subsection (b)--
(1) shall be used to supplement, not supplant, the funds otherwise allocated by the National Institutes of Health for pediatric research; and (2) notwithstanding any transfer authority in any appropriation Act, shall not be used for any purpose other than making grants as described in section 402(b)(7)(B)(ii) of the Public Health Service Act, as added by subsection (a).In this section the bill sets up additional funding to the private sector and not just appropriating election funds money. The bill states the Director of NIH has to add the pediatric funds which is at the least $1,352,189,000 plus any other funding in other funds for children within NIH.This is what the GOP has been doing since the last government shutdown. They have been scoping out monies that can be transferred from it's purpose to privatize 'soft targets' so when the Debt Ceiling has to be raised, they won't do it. They will allow default without hitting soft targets that suffered in the last shutdown.Plotting. Allowing unemployment and global concern for the USA's inability to grapple with the political divide in regard to PAYING THEIR BILLS. Plotting, so they can do more of the same without causing deaths of children when their treatments are defunded at the NIH.
