The following list of two-digit science codes are used to assign the NIEHS Extramural Research Portfolio to specific areas of science. There are a total of 99 codes. However, some have been left blank (not shown), to allow for future emerging areas of science. The codes have been placed into 6 major categories: Basic Science, Centers, Organ Systems/Disease Process, Application of Technology to Disease, Training, and Translational Research. Separating the portfolio into specific areas of science allows NIEHS to better evaluate their Extramural Research Portfolio.

* Count = number of active grants. A grant is considered active when its budget date is current. Since this list is updated daily, when a grant's budget date falls outside of the current date, it will automatically drop from the active list. A grant will also drop from the list when a grant is being renewed, and the currently active grant passes the budget end date, but the renewal has not yet been activated. Once the renewal is activated, the grant will once again show up on the list. Even with this potential problem, the accuracy rate of this list on any given day is greater than 98%.
