Generally, project abstracts are posted to the RePORT website the first Sunday after the grant award notice is issued or on the budget start date; whichever is later?

The RePORTER database is refreshed every Sunday? The latest refresh date is below the RePORTER query form?

Graphs from the RePORTER Data and Visualize Tab can be exported to a PowerPoint and the Summary tables can be exported to an Excel sheet?

The RePORTER Database is available for bulk download to all public users at http://ExPORTER.nih.gov?

RePORTER can filter results by foreign country from the Query form?

You can save your RePORTER queries and results by using MyREPORTER? Learn More

You can search by principal investigator or project leader name using the RePORTER Query Form?

Boolean logic features allow RePORTER to perform complex text searching? This feature can be used in combination with other filter criteria for customized data gathering/mining.

The Research, Condition and Disease Categorization (RCDC) process established in 2008 is a rules based approach to the placement of projects into their NIH categorical spending category?

The RePORTER database contains research project information for the past 25 years?

You can find research funded with a particular NIH grant activity by using a wildcard character along with the activity code in the Project Number field (e.g %P30% to list all P30 Projects)?

There is a RePORTER printer friendly page format available through the Print Version button?

You will find most of the answers about RePORTER and its features in the RePORTER manual?

By default, the RePORTER Query form selects active projects, regardless of fiscal year of funding? Selecting all fiscal years includes the projects no longer active.

The RePORTER query form has various fields which allow use of the % wildcard feature? Click here

RePORTER handles special character combinations that occur with chemical names through its Advanced logic feature using double quotes around the text; "2, 4-Dinitroanisole"? Learn More

RePORTER can now perform a text search on publication abstracts also? Learn More

Clicking on a Project Number or Title in RePORTER search results will present additional information such as the abstract, project terms, and funding details?

RePORTER has a Similar Projects tab that will produce a listing of projects "similar" to the one selected?

RePORTER export now allows for 15,000 projects (basic elements only) to be exported to an excel file?

On the Categorical Spending page, NIH-funded research is categorized into more than 200 specific/disease research areas?

The Categorical Spending filter in RePORTER allows you to search NIH-funded research in more than 200 specific/disease research areas?

Estimates of Funding for Various Research, Condition, and Disease Categories (RCDC)


Table Published: February 13, 2012

The table below displays the annual support level for various research, condition, and disease categories based on grants, contracts, and other funding mechanisms used across the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

At the request of Congress, the NIH embarked on a process to provide better consistency and transparency in the reporting of its funded research. This new process, implemented in 2008 through the Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) system, uses sophisticated text data mining (categorizing and clustering using words and multiword phrases) in conjunction with NIH-wide definitions used to match projects to categories. RCDC use of data mining improves consistency and eliminates the wide variability in defining the research categories reported. The definitions are a list of terms and concepts selected by NIH scientific experts to define a research category. The research category levels represent the NIH’s best estimates based on the category definitions.

The NIH does not expressly budget by category. The annual estimates reflect amounts that change as a result of science, actual research projects funded, and the NIH budget. The research categories are not mutually exclusive. Individual research projects can be included in multiple categories so amounts depicted within each column of this table do not add up to 100 percent of NIH-funded research.

Consistent with the Administration’s emphasis on transparency, two separate columns are used to distinguish FY 2009 and FY 2010 actual support funded from American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) accounts from projects funded by regular NIH appropriations.

The table shows historical data for FY 2008 through FY 2011. The FY 2012-2013 estimates are based on RCDC actual data.

Total Number of Research/Disease Areas: 233
