WASHINGTON — A government funding deal released late Wednesday includes $269 million in new funding for the Food and Drug Administration, which would represent the largest increase the agency has seen in at least five years.
With that new funding, the FDA would receive $3.08 billion in government funding for fiscal year 2019. Coupled with roughly $2.5 billion in fees from drug, device, and other regulated companies, FDA’s total budget would be $5.67 billion.
