Funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to the School of Medicine and Dentistry jumped 11 percent in the last year—from $143.2 million to $159.3 million. The sizable increase is especially notable because it comes in a year when the overall budget growth at NIH, the nation’s largest funder of basic and clinical biomedical research, was essentially flat. “During a year when the number of new grants awarded to medical schools by NIH declined, new awards to our faculty actually increased,” says David Guzick, dean of the medical school.
