“It also sets aside more research money for the National Institutes of Health — including $5 billion for the Cancer Moonshot initiative to accelerate cancer research, as well as brain and genomics research.
“Simply put: 21st Century Cures is an innovative game-changer and a truly once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring our healthcare system light years ahead of where it is today,” Republican U.S. Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, the House’s chief sponsor, told the Los Angeles Times.

“Vaccine-Related Provisions § 3091
Key Components
As soon as FDA licenses a vaccine (either initially or for a new indication), the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC’s) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) must consider the use of the vaccine at its next scheduled meeting, although it is not required to make a recommendation.
ACIP must make recommendations in a timely manner concerning the use of “certain vaccines,” including those that are (1) designated as a breakthrough therapy under Section 506 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) or (2) could be used in a public health emergency.
No later than one year after enactment, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, along with the NIH, FDA, CDC, and Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) must submit a report to Congress on ways to promote innovation in the development of vaccines against infectious diseases and the identification of obstacles (and proposed remedies) to vaccine innovation. The Secretary may consult with representatives of relevant federal agencies and other stakeholders.”
