Source: NIH RePORTER snapshot refreshed September 5, 2026. Percentage changes compare closed fiscal years FY2021–FY2025. FY2026 totals are partial, through September 5, 2026. An award mentioning two tracked fields counts in both, so these are coverage figures for the tracked fields, not NIH-wide totals.
What Pro answers
Three questions before your next aims page.
GotGrant turns RePORTER records into decisions you can use: where momentum is real, who is winning support, and what changed after you stopped searching.
01
Is this field gaining NIH support?
Compare five closed fiscal years and separate durable movement from a one-year spike.
A microbiome search is more useful when the history, funded activity, and next update stay connected. This example uses the same NIH records and alert format available to subscribers.

New versus continuing support
Growth alone does not tell you how open a field is.
Type 1 actions fund new applications; the rest continue, renew, or supplement existing projects. In FY2025, the new-award share ranged from 22% in obesity research to 47% in GLP-1 and metabolic disease.
This is the share of awarded dollars, not an application success rate or a prediction of your chances of funding.
Share of FY2025 award dollars that funded new awards
New awards are Type 1 award actions. Renewals, continuations, supplements, and revisions count as other award actions. Ranked by new-award share; the total at right is the field’s FY2025 award dollars.

Questions
Before you subscribe
GotGrant is independent and is not affiliated with NIH or the U.S. government.
Is GotGrant affiliated with NIH?
No. GotGrant is an independent product built on public NIH RePORTER data. Every result links back to the official NIH record so you can verify it, and nothing here is endorsed by or connected to NIH or the U.S. government.
Where do the charts on this page come from?
The charts use NIH RePORTER award records refreshed September 5, 2026. Percentage changes compare closed fiscal years FY2021–FY2025. FY2026 totals are partial, through September 5, 2026. The leading-mechanism note in the microbiome brief comes from that snapshot's recent-award sample. One award that mentions two tracked fields counts in both, so figures describe each field's coverage rather than an NIH-wide total. Inside GotGrant Pro the tools query RePORTER live for any keyword you choose.
What does an alert contain?
Each daily or weekly digest lists the new NIH awards that match a saved search: title, principal investigator, institution, activity code, award amount, and a link to the RePORTER record. If nothing new matched, no email is sent.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Manage or cancel from your account through the Stripe billing portal at any time. Access continues through the end of the paid period, and the refund policy explains the details.
Who is GotGrant Pro for?
Principal investigators positioning a proposal, postdocs and graduate students scouting funded labs, research development offices tracking a portfolio, and anyone who needs field-level NIH funding context without building RePORTER queries by hand. GotGrant does not predict or influence funding decisions.
