The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> was awarded just over $58 million in federal biomedical research grants from the National Institutes of Health<\/a> (NIH<\/abbr>) in Fiscal Year (FY<\/abbr>) 2023 (July 1, 2022—June 30, 2023), generating $158 million in economic activity in the state and supporting 819 local jobs. This is according to the United for Medical Research 2024 annual report<\/a> that assesses the economic impact of NIH<\/abbr> funding in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

NIH<\/abbr> funding awarded to researchers supports employment and purchase of research-related goods, services and materials. The income generated from these jobs and purchases cycles through the economy to produce new economic activity. The report estimates that every $1 of NIH<\/abbr> funding generates $2.46 in new economic activity.<\/p>\n

“The funding that we receive from NIH<\/abbr> is vital to sustaining the important work of our researchers, as they seek to cure diseases, eliminate cancer, and to improve health equity amongst under-represented groups and in rural communities across Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and the Pacific,” said UH<\/abbr> Vice President for Research and Innovation Vassilis L. Syrmos. “At the same time, these extramural grants inject much needed dollars into our state\u2019s economy through research-related expenditures.” <\/p>\n

Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> received $68.7 million in NIH<\/abbr> funding in FY<\/abbr> 2023 with 85% going to UH<\/abbr>, including 79 of the 93 NIH<\/abbr> grants awarded. The UH<\/abbr> Cancer Center and the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> were responsible for the majority of the NIH<\/abbr>-funded research projects in FY<\/abbr> 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nationally, NIH<\/abbr> funding totaled $37 billion in FY<\/abbr> 2023 and supported 412,041 jobs and generated $92.9 billion in new economic activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
