U.S. Funding for Global Health Security, FY 2011 - FY 2021
(In Millions)
NOTE:
Includes Global Health Security funding through USAID, CDC and DoD. Totals include base and supplemental funding. FY13 includes the effects of sequestration. FY21 is based on funding provided in the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021” (P.L. 116-260) and is a preliminary estimate. FY21 funding for GEIS at DoD is not yet known and is assumed to remain at prior year levels. In FY15, Congress provided $5.4 billion in emergency funding to address the Ebola outbreak, of which $909.0 million was specifically designated for global health security. In FY16, Congress provided $1.1 billion in emergency funding to address the Zika outbreak, of which $145.5 million was specifically designated for global health security. In FY18, Congress provided $100 million in unspent Emergency Ebola funding for “programs to accelerate the capabilities of targeted countries to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.” In FY19, Congress provided $38 million in unspent Emergency Ebola funding for “programs to accelerate the capacities of targeted countries to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.” In FY21, Congress provided $9.4 billion in emergency supplemental global health funding to address the COVID-19 pandemic; it is expected that some FY21 supplemental funding for COVID-19 provided through CDC may be designated for global health security, but the amount is not yet known.
