How We Calculate

Military $

Military $ = Σ (bill amount for each YEA vote on NDAA, supplementals, or omnibus military portion)

NDAA and supplementals count at face value. Omnibus bills count only the military appropriation (~$858–886B/yr).

Clinical Trials $

Trials $ = NIH budget × 0.033

Only 3.3% of the NIH budget funds clinical trials ($1.56B of $47.3B). The other 96.7% is basic research, overhead, and administration. Source: JAMA.

Score

Score = Clinical Trials $ − Military $

Positive = net investment in medicine. Negative = net investment in military. Everyone is negative.

Ratio

Ratio = Military $ ÷ Clinical Trials $

Higher = worse. ∞ means the politician voted for military spending but never voted for any bill containing clinical trial funding.
