This funding, which is highly competitive, was used to support 1,309 research projects that are working towards finding potential treatments and forming a better understanding of the causes of various diseases.
The funding for 2018 totaled $647,880,065 – an increase of 9.1% from the previous year. The University was the only public institution to receive more than $600 million in funding from the NIH.
