How We Calculate
NDAA and supplementals count at face value. Omnibus bills count only the military appropriation (~$858–886B/yr).
Only 3.3% of the NIH budget funds clinical trials ($1.56B of $47.3B). The other 96.7% is basic research, overhead, and administration. Source: JAMA.
Positive = net investment in medicine. Negative = net investment in military. Everyone is negative.
Higher = worse. ∞ means the politician voted for military spending but never voted for any bill containing clinical trial funding.
