National Institutes of Health Amendments of 1990 (S. 2857 (101st)) — United States

Summary

National Institutes of Health Reauthorization Act of 1990 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize appropriations for the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Requires the Director of the NHLBI, in carrying out the National Heart, Blood Vessel, Lung, and Blood Diseases and Blood Resources Program, to support training and education. Authorizes appropriations to carry out provisions relating to: (1) medical libraries and related instrumentalities; and (2) payments under National Research Service Awards and under grants for the Awards. Allows the National Library of Medicine, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to make rules regarding the basis on which its publications, materials, facilities, or services may be used. (Current law allows the Library to make such rules, but makes no reference to other provisions of law.) Allows the rules to include use under licensing arrangements that provide for quality control and full recovery of access costs. Amends the Health Omnibus Programs Extension of 1988 to require the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research to recommend, for the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) as well as for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), estimates of the expenditures needed to carry out each Institute's part of the overall program. Extends the due date for a report by the Commission. Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize appropriations: (1) to carry out provisions authorizing a grant for a registry of epidemiological data about Alzheimer's disease; and (2) for the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Requires that a report by the Secretary concerning carcinogens be published biennially rather than annually. Authorizes appropriations for the Biomedical Ethics Board and the Biomedical Ethics Advisory Committee. Removes provisions requiring the Committee to study and submit a report relating to fetal research, focusing on the nature, advisability, and biomedical and ethical implications of exercising any waiver of the risk standard published in certain regulations. Directs the Secretary to establish a nonprofit corporation, known as the National Foundation for Biomedical Research and not, subject to exception, an agency of the Government, to support research within the NIH and ADAMHA, and to take other actions. Authorizes appropriations. Repeals these provisions regarding the Foundation, subject to exception, five years after enactment of this Act. Authorizes the Secretary, in carrying out provisions relating to the NIH, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to enter into licensing agreements that provide for quality control and the full recovery of access costs.
