Top NIH grant funding by institutions, states for 2010

With NIH budget cuts a real possibility, it’s interesting to see who has the most to lose.

Johns Hopkins University led all institutions in funding from the National Institutes of Health last year with $686 million. Meanwhile, California receives more NIH dollars than any other state, according to a third-party analysis that combined NIH and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act dollars from last year.

The NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world.

A ranking of the Top 100 institutions getting NIH grants, followed by a ranking of all 50 states, is below. Johns Hopkins’ is a runaway leader in getting NIH grants, followed next by the University of Pennsylvania ($577 million), University of Washington ($571 million), University of Michigan ($565 million) and University of California San Francisco ($538 million).

Look at the list and consider the debate over NIH budget cuts and increases currently going on in Congress. President Obama has proposed upping by $1 billion the agency’s $31.3 billion budget in fiscal 2012, saying that biomedical research is “essential” to the health of individuals and the economy. House Republicans have taken the opposite tack, proposing $1 billion in NIH budget cuts to rein in federal spending in a move that they, too, say will help the economy (nevermind if that latter view isn’t supported by basic economics).

The data below combines information regarding direct NIH grants in 2010 with research dollars awarded as part of 2009′s federal stimulus package. The figures are often adjusted during the course of the following year, so the final 2010 amounts could change slightly.
