funding and list of funding agencies and projects is, in a sense, a weathers marker in the field of life and health research.
about 75 per cent of the agency's fiscal 2019 budget is used to support out-of-hospital research, according to data published on the NIH website in May.
In the fiscal year, NIH awarded 55,012 competitive and non-competitive grants totalling approximately $29,466 million, an increase of $2,354 million (8.68 percent) over fiscal 2018 and 2,369 projects involving research projects by 2,738 organizations, including universities, medical schools and other research institutions in the United States states and around the world.
