FY26 Budget Request Outlines Global Health Programs Funding
Updated June 05, 2025
The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) budget request details proposed funding shifts for various global health programs. The FY25 funding remained at FY24 levels due to a full-year Continuing Resolution.
A potential $200 million from various accounts could address infectious disease public health emergencies. These funds are appropriated through the “State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs” (SFOPs).
Global health programs (primary_keyword) under SFOPs are primarily funded through the Global Health Programs (GHP) account. However, past funding for areas like HIV, tuberculosis, maternal and child health (secondary_keyword_1), nutrition, and global health security (secondary_keyword_2) came from the ESF and AEECA accounts. The FY26 request proposes eliminating these accounts, creating uncertainty around specific allocations.
The FY24 bill allocated funds for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. The FY26 request doesn’t specify a funding amount but suggests it could come from the GHP account or a new “America First Possibility Fund” (A1OF), capped at 20% of total contributions during the 8th Replenishment, totaling $2.4 billion over three years.
The FY26 request also eliminates the International Organizations & Programs (IO&P) account, wich previously funded UNICEF and UNFPA.
The FY24 bill specified that “not less then $575,000,000 should be made available for family planning/reproductive health.” If UNFPA doesn’t receive funding, those funds transfer to the ‘Global Health Programs’ account for family planning, maternal, and reproductive health activities.
Up to $100 million could contribute to the Coalition for Epidemic preparedness Innovations (CEPI), according to the FY24 final appropriations bill. Additionally, up to $70 million from ‘Global Health Programs’ may support the emergency Reserve Fund.
The FY26 Request indicates that funding from the GHP account may be provided to the “Emergency reserve Fund” without specifying an amount.
Within ‘Other Public Health Threats’ funding, up to $6 million is designated for the Health Reserve Fund, and at least $10 million supports the global health workforce, according to the FY24 explanatory statement.
The FY26 Request restructures CDC’s global Health Center, moving “Global disease Detection & Emergency Response” to “Crosscutting Activities and Program Support” and “Parasitic Diseases and Malaria” to ”Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.”
What’s next
future global health funding (primary_keyword) allocations depend on congressional decisions and agency-level determinations, especially regarding research activities at NIH and the restructuring of CDC’s global health programs. Stakeholders will monitor how these changes impact global health security (secondary_keyword_2) and maternal and child health (secondary_keyword_1) initiatives.
