Appropriators on Capitol Hill have announced an agreement that funds several key departments (Defense, Education, Labor, Health and Human Services) for the full fiscal year and others through December 7. The agreement prevents a government shutdown at the start of the fiscal year on October 1 and secures increases to research programs at the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense. The White House has not officially indicated whether President Trump will approve the package. Additional details will be provided as they become available.
