National Institutes of Health Funding for Diseases, Conditions, and Research FY 2016 – FY 2024

Important Note:

  • Estimates for FY2025 and FY2026 are not provided by category at this time due to evolving changes in the administration priorities.
  • The table does not reconcile mathematically, i.e., category amounts are not additive. Funding included in one area may also be included in other areas. For example, Clinical Research includes Clinical Trials and Supporting Activities.

The Office of Budget intranet site was initially developed and deployed in FY 2009 to streamline and enhance internal workflow between OB, counterpart units within the NIH Office of the Director, and the ICs for budget related topics and activities. The intranet site is accessible only to NIH budget community members and other authorized users. Use the link below to connect to the OB Virtual Library.
