What's Happening?
The AAMC is actively monitoring the developments in National Institutes of Health (NIH) extramural funding, providing regular updates through NIH RePORTER. The data presented covers the federal fiscal year, beginning October 1, and includes information
up to August 8 for FY 2026. The figures and tables focus exclusively on NIH extramural funding, excluding subprojects. Notably, there is a lag in some grants appearing on RePORTER due to delays between receiving a notice of award and its documentation. The data is continuously updated by NIH, reflecting the most current information available at the time of download.
Why It's Important?
Tracking NIH funding is crucial for understanding the allocation of resources towards biomedical research in the U.S. This funding supports a wide range of research projects that can lead to significant advancements in medical science and public health. The ongoing updates and transparency in funding data help stakeholders, including researchers and policymakers, make informed decisions about future research directions and funding priorities. The data also provides insights into the federal government's commitment to supporting scientific innovation and addressing public health challenges.
