FY 2023 By the Numbers: Extramural Grant Investments in Research

We are back again to share our annual update on NIH application, award, and success rate data. Here we present our most recent information for fiscal year (FY) 2023 enacted appropriations. As a note, the NIH Data Book has other historical grants data and is being updated with more FY 2023 grants and application data. Similar to our FYs 2020, 2021, and 2022 posts, spending related to special appropriations for coronavirus are excluded here, but may be found using RePORTER’s advanced search capabilities. We spent $34.9 billion of our total $47.7 billion appropriation in FY 2023 for competing and noncompeting grant awards. This is a 4.7% increase (or $1.58 billion) in spending over the previous year. Monies for grants and Other Transaction awards are included while monies for ARPA-H and research and development contracts are excluded. NIH supported 58,951 competing and non-competing awards in FY 2023. This was an additional 583 extramural grants compared to 58,368 in FY 2022, a 1.0% increase. NIH issued grants to 2,743 academic universities, hospitals, small businesses, and other organizations throughout the U.S. and internationally.  Table 1 – All Extramural Research (competing and non-competing, excluding contracts) 202220232023 % Change from 2022Number of Awards58,36858,9511.0%Total Amount (in billions)$33.34$34.924.7% The success rate for new research project grants (RPGs) increased 0.6 percentage points from 20.7% in FY 2022 to 21.3% in FY 2023. ...
