NIH recently launched several enhancements to allow the public to more easily and quickly find funding information for various NIH research areas. The new look and feel of the NIH Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) Categorical Spending webpage adds to NIH’s long-standing efforts to enhance transparency and accountability into NIH funding decisions and the research areas NIH supports.

We want to remind the research community about relevant NIH inclusion policies and resources, as well as where inclusion data can be found. Appropriate inclusion of research participants ensures that NIH supports science that will inform clinical practice to benefit all who are affected by the disease or condition under study.

We are committed to ensuring accountability and transparency of NIH research spending. To this end, we are sharing how we review and adapt our methodologies to provide accurate reports of NIH expenditures for NIH Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) categories.

I often hear concerns raised that NIH does not fund enough basic research, or enough applied research for that matter. Basically, the concerns center around what is the correct balance. It is an important point to consider, as a better understanding of these wider research areas can shed light on NIH’s approach to higher-level priority setting and funding decisions. To get at this question, we leveraged the Research, Condition, and Disease Classification (RCDC) system and looked at trends in NIH funding of these areas between fiscal years (FYs) 2009 and 2022.

For over two decades, NIH has required researchers to include women, members of racial and ethnic minority groups, and children in their work absent an acceptable scientific or ethical rationale for their exclusion. Now, for the first time, selected inclusion data on sex/gender and race/ethnicity are publicly available disaggregated for various research, condition, and disease areas.
