``(H) $4,236,712,328 for fiscal year 2024; ``(I) $4,295,287,671 for fiscal year 2025; ``(J) $4,600,000,000 for fiscal year 2026; and ``(K) $1,159,452,055 for the period beginning on October 1, 2026, and ending on December 31, 2026; and''.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The enacted FY2026 appropriations law increased and extended mandatory Community Health Center funding through FY2026 and provided bridge funding through December 31, 2026. This partially delivers the community health center component, but not the full broad commitment across all named sectors.

In making Federal financial assistance, the provisions relating to indirect costs in part 75 of title 45, Code of Federal Regulations, including with respect to the approval of deviations from negotiated rates, shall continue to apply to the National Institutes of Health to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions were applied in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The same enacted appropriations law protected NIH indirect-cost reimbursement rules, a concrete protection for federally funded university and hospital research infrastructure. This supports partial delivery of the R&D funding protection piece, while the broader commitment remains only partly satisfied.
