NIH funding enablesuniversities and research centers toinspire their students and postdoctoralfellows to advance basic research;to build and utilize capacity in theirfacilities; and to train faculty and staffto teach future generations.Grants awarded by the NIH toCalifornia grew by 87 percent between1999 and 2004, the peak year thusfar.

In 2009,7,082 applicants were selected forfunding that totaled $3.2 billion. Yet,$119.7 million in NIH funding enabledfellowships as well as training grants— money that is critical to the ongoingtraining of faculty for tomorrow’smedical science programs.Figure 46: California’s NIH funding, fiscal years 1999-2009 ($M)Figure 25: California’s NIH funding, fiscal years 1999–2009 in millions of dollarsCalifornia’s NIH Funding$4000$3500$3000$2500$2000$1500$1000$500$0199819992000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009Source: National Institutes of Health, Office of Extramural Research.Note: Data excludes R&D contracts and projects funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.Figure 47: Top 10 NIH grant funding recipient states, 2009 ($M)Figure 26: Top 10 NIH grant funding recipient statesCaliforniaMassachusettsNew YorkPennsylvaniaTexasMarylandNorth CarolinaWashingtonIllinoisOhio$1,070$1,009$948$785$739$641$1,381$1,940$2,331Source: National Institutes of Health, Office of Extramural Research.Note: Data excludes R&D contracts and projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.Figure 48: California’s share of total U.S. NIH grand fundingFigure 27: California’s share of total US NIH grant funding, fiscal years 1999–2009Share of US NIH Funding17%16%15%14%15.1% 15.3% 15.0%15.3% 15.6% 16.0%14.3%$3,21415.1% 15.0%15.1% 15.1%13%1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009Source: National Institutes of Health, Office of Extramural Research.Note: Data excludes R&D contracts and projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.68 | California Biomedical Industry 2011 Report
