Does the NIH provide most funding to university researchers working in health research?
- tgb 9y agoIt's the single largest source of such funding in the US (and I imagine in the world, too), yes. I don't know that it's >50% though, but it's certainly a large fraction. For example, it's budget is 4 times that of the NSF or CDC.
- Fomite 9y agoYes, it's far and away the largest funder of health research in both the U.S. and the world, and NIH funding is the "gold standard" for things like tenure and promotion.
