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.
The Maths
