By organization type

Each institution is grouped by where most of its NIH dollars go, using NIH's recipient type. A university's medical school can be its own row, but stays under higher education.

How this ranking is built

Source: the public NIH RePORTER API, refreshed October 16, 2026. See also our data methodology.

Dollar totals measure scale, not research quality or training environment. Our guide on how to read NIH funding rankings by university covers what these numbers miss.

What countsEvery NIH award record in the fiscal year — research grants, cooperative agreements, training and career awards, SBIR/STTR, and R&D contracts. NIH intramural research and interagency agreements with other federal agencies are excluded.
Dollar amountRePORTER's total award amount (direct plus indirect costs) obligated in that fiscal year, not the full multi-year value of each grant.
No double countingComponents of multi-project awards (P01, U54, center grants) are excluded; their dollars are already in the parent award.
Who an institution isRows follow NIH's recipient organization code, so a university's medical school, affiliated hospital, and separate campuses can appear separately. Subawards stay with the prime recipient.

NIH funding ranking questions

Which institution receives the most NIH funding in FY2022?

Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) received the most NIH award funding in fiscal year 2022: $837.7M across 1,493 award records. The next largest recipients were University of California, San Francisco, Duke University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh.

How much NIH funding went to outside institutions in FY2022?

NIH RePORTER lists $37.03B in extramural award funding across 65,582 award records to 2,910 institutions in fiscal year 2022. The ten largest recipients received 18.4% of that total, and the top 50 received 55.4%.

Which state receives the most NIH funding?

California led all states in FY2022 with $5.46B in NIH awards to 435 institutions, 14.9% of funding to U.S. recipients in this table.

Why do these numbers differ from the BRIMR rankings or NIH RePORT?

Rankings differ by what they count. This page totals every NIH award record in RePORTER for the fiscal year, including grants, cooperative agreements, training awards, and R&D contracts, and groups them by the NIH recipient organization code. BRIMR ranks medical school departments and folds affiliated hospitals into schools; NIH RePORT's "Awards by Location & Organization" applies its own inclusion rules. A university's medical school, hospital, and other campuses can therefore appear as separate rows here.

Are subawards to collaborating institutions counted?

No. NIH reports awards to the prime recipient only. When a university passes part of a grant to a collaborator through a subaward, the full amount stays with the prime recipient in RePORTER, so collaborating institutions can look smaller than the research they actually host.

How often is this ranking updated?

The ranking is rebuilt from the NIH RePORTER API and was last refreshed on October 16, 2026. It covers fiscal years 2022 through 2026. Verify individual awards at reporter.nih.gov before citing them.
