India, March 12 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it will be seeking $7.2 billion as part of the President's fiscal year 2025 proposed budget, to enhance food safety and nutrition, advance medical product safety, and modernize its infrastructure and facilities.
FDA's request is $495 million or 7.4 percent above the fiscal 2023 funding level, and also reflects the agency's focus to help support supply chain resiliency, strengthen its public-health and mission-support capacity.
