The American Association for Dental Research today issued the following statement on President Obama’s FY17 budget by the Association’s Executive Director Christopher Fox, DMD DMSc:

The American Association for Dental Research is disappointed with the President’s fiscal year 2017 budget request. In particular, we are deeply concerned with the President’s proposal to cut discretionary funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and backfill those cuts using an unauthorized mandatory funding stream. Importantly, even with the utilization of the mandatory funding, almost all of the Institutes and Centers at NIH are level funded with the previous fiscal year.
