Members of the scientific community criticized this comment as showing Harkin did not understand the basics of scientific inquiry, which tests hypotheses, but never intentionally attempts to "validate approaches". In 2009, the NCCAM's yearly budget was increased to about $ 122 million. Overall NIH funding for CAM research increased to $ 300 million by 2009. By 2009, Americans were spending $ 34 billion annually on CAM.

Stephen Strauss was the director of NCCAM from 1999 to 2006. He tried to bring more scientific rigor to the organization. In 1999 the NCCAM budget was increased from $ 20 million to $ 50 million. The United States Congress approved the appropriations without dissent. In 2000, the budget was
