Budget Estimates for Appropriations Committees, Fiscal Year 2021

The fiscal year 2021 President's Budget proposes AHRQ be consolidated into the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the National Institute for Research on Safety and Quality (NIRSQ). This statement summarizes budget information submitted to Congress for fiscal year 2021 by NIRSQ.

Each year, Federal agencies must develop and present to Congress their budget requests for the coming fiscal year. All requests are in the President's budget, which is presented to Congress. At the same time, every agency presents to Congress its own Congressional Justification, which details the agency's recent accomplishments, how it spent the money that Congress appropriated in the past, and what the agency hopes to accomplish with the new funds it seeks.

This statement summarizes budget information submitted to Congress for FY 2021 by NIRSQ. As part of the budget for the National Institutes of Health, the performance budget submission both provides background about NIRSQ and lays out future priorities for it.
