| Estimates of Funding for Various Diseases, Conditions, Research Areas |
|
|
|
|
(Table Updated February 5, 2007)
This table displays funding levels for various diseases, conditions, and research areas, based on actual grants, contracts, research conducted at NIH, and other mechanisms of support in FY 2003 through FY 2006. The FY 2007 and FY 2008 figures are estimates, and are based on the FY 2006 levels, and the FY2007 current rate level, and the FY 2008 Budget.
Important Notes: The current year (FY 2007) and budget year (FY 2008) dollar amounts provided represent NIH's best estimate on what will be funded for the categories. The figures provided are not allocated or set aside for these categories. The table is not additive. Funding included in one area may also be included in other areas. For example, Clinical Research includes Clinical Trials.
