Useful Stats: Top 100 Cities for NIH Funding: 2000-2001
In each of the past two years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has published a list of the top 100 metro areas based on the total distribution of NIH funds. This year's table breaks down the total number of awards and dollar amounts by type of funding: research grants, training grants, fellowships, R&D contracts, and other awards.
New York City joined Boston this year as the only two metro areas to surpass $1 billion in total NIH funding. San Diego, Philadelphia and Baltimore round out the top five.

SSTI has prepared a table presenting the 2000 and 2001 top 100 cities for total NIH funding, the total and percent change between years, and ranking for each column. At 40.34 percent, Ithaca, NY enjoyed the greatest positive change between 2000 and 2001. The only other four communities with a positive change in excess of 30 percent were: Waltham, MA; Omaha, NE; Tampa, FL; and Bar Harbor, ME.
