Reviewed by Dr. Meng ZhaoLast reviewed October 26, 2026Data refreshed October 16, 2026Editorial standards
Each NIH institute and center funds its own research portfolio. Pick one to see which institutions it funds most, its newest awards, and the funding opportunities it has open now. Figures cover the institutions with $10M or more in NIH funding, which receive most extramural NIH dollars.
FY2026 closed on September 30, 2026, but NIH keeps posting that year's awards to RePORTER for several weeks. FY2026 figures reflect records available on October 16, 2026 and may rise slightly at the next refresh.
