Estimates of Funding for Various Diseases, Conditions, and Research Areas

The table below provides insight into NIH research funding on the topics addressed in this chapter. The table is adapted from the most recent
112
version of NIH's Estimates of Funding for Various Diseases, Conditions, and Research Areas (
http://www.nih.gov/news/fundingresearchareas.htm
). That publicly available source table displays information that NIH routinely collects on agency-wide funding in areas of special interest. For each area in which NIH collects data on agency-wide funding, the table below indicates whether some of the funding pertains to the topics in this chapter.
Important Notes:
The FY 2006 and FY 2007 funding levels are based on actual grants, contracts, intramural research, and other mechanisms of support.
The figures provided are not allocated or set aside for these areas. Rather, the funding level results from myriad individual decisions.
Funding included in one area may also be included in other areas; for example, Clinical Research includes Clinical Trials, and Fragile X Syndrome, Genetics, and Intellectual Disability each overlap to some extent, as do Topical Microbicides, HIV/AIDS, and Prevention. Because of this overlap, adding the funding of various areas will yield a false sum.
For most of the areas listed, only a portion of the funding pertains to the indicated topic. For example, only a portion of NIH funding on Agent Orange and Dioxin pertains to Neuroscience and Disorders of the Nervous System, but because a fraction does, that area is checked.

Includes research on HIV/AIDS, its associated opportunistic infections, malignancies, and clinical manifestations as well as basic science that also benefits a wide spectrum of non-AIDS disease research.
