Health Programs Extension Act of 1980 (S. 988 (96th)) — United States

Summary

Health Science Promotion Act of 1979 - Title I: President's Council on the Health Sciences - Amends title IV of the Public Health Service Act (National Research Institutes) to replace the National Advisory Health Council with a new 15-member President's Council for the Health Sciences. Directs the Council, after consideration of specified criteria, to prepare a National Health Sciences Plan to be simultaneously transmitted to the President, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Congress, by November 30 of each year. Requires such Plan to set forth a recommended budget for health sciences research with the Department of HEW for the coming fiscal year, and priorities for research expenditure for the subsequent four years. Terminates the Council on December 31, 1985. Title II: National Institutes of Health - Establishes in the Public Health Service the National Institutes of Health (which was abolished as a statutory entity by Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1966). Sets forth the goals of the Institutes, and authorizes the Director of the Institutes to perform specified functions to achieve such goals. Requires the Director to: (1) assure that not less than 45 percent of all funds expended by the Institutes in any given year shall be used to support research by individual investigators who are not full-time employees of the Institutes and whose applications for such grants were unsolicited; and (2) establish a program of demonstrations and experimentations with alternative methods for conducting peer review of research grant applications. Requires selected peer review groups to include individuals experienced in non-biomedical sciences and lay persons. Makes uniform the statutory authority for the 11 categorical Institutes of the National Institutes of Health (National Cancer Institute, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institute of Dental Research, National Institute on Arthritis, Metabolism, and Digestive Diseases, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Eye Institute, National Institute on Aging, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke). Establishes under each of the categorical Institutes (except the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) the following Advisory Councils: National Dental Research Advisory Council, National Arthritis, Metabolism, and Digestive Diseases Advisory Council, National Child Health and Human Development Advisory Council, National General Medical Sciences Advisory Council, National Eye Advisory Council, National Aging Advisory Council, National Allergy and Infectious Diseases Advisory Council, National Environmental Health Sciences Advisory Council, and National Neurological, Communicative Disorders, and Stroke Advisory Council. Includes within the uniform authority for such categorical Institute the following select provisions: (1) each Advisory Council shall (A) review research projects and programs submitted under its jurisdiction, (B) collect information in its field, and (C) certify to the Secretary approval of projects and applications for grants-in-aid; (2) each Council shall include 18 members appointed by the Secretary for four-year terms; (3) the Director of the Institutes, in consultation with each Advisory Council, shall prepare a report for the Secretary, the President, and Congress with respect to the activities of the Institutes relating to the objectives of each categorical Institute; and (4) the categorical Institutes and Advisory Councils shall expire on September 30, 1983. Extends the authorizations through fiscal year 1983 for: (1) activities of the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; (2) diabetes research and training centers and the National Diabetes Advisory Board; and (3) arthritis demonstration projects and data system, multipurpose arthritis centers, and the National Arthritis Advisory Board. Title III: Paperwork - Requires the Director of the National Institutes of Health to conduct experimental programs to reduce paperwork associated with the application for, and administration of, research grants.
