With about USD 49 billion for FY2023, NIH is the largest source of funding for biomedical research in the world. Comprising 27 divisions and institutes, NIH focuses on various aspects of health research that includes specific diseases, health conditions, and scientific disciplines. Its Common Fund is a funding entity within the NIH that supports bold scientific programs that catalyze discovery across all biomedical and behavioral research. These programs create a space where investigators and multiple NIH Institutes and Centers collaborate on innovative research expected to address high priority challenges for the NIH as a whole and make a broader impact in the scientific community. It's Bridge2AI is a short-term, goal-driven strategic investment supported by the Common Fund. See funding.
