NIH RePORT (Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools) site publicly provides reports, data, and analyses of NIH research activities, including information on NIH expenditures and the results of NIH-supported research. The RePORT suite includes:

• NIH RePORTER (RePORT Expenditures and Results) allows users to search for funded projects, investigators, publications, and patents. (Learn more in the June 2018 NIH Open Mike blog.) As detailed in the FAQ, RePORTER also includes information on research projects funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Health Resources and Services Administration, Administration for Children and Families, and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
• Awards by Location and Organization provides year-by-year NIH funding data, filterable by institution, state, congressional district, and more.
• RCDC (Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization) shows actuals and future estimates of annual support level for various budget categories based on grants, research and development contracts, and other funding mechanisms used by NIH, as well as disease burden data published by the CDC National Center for Health Statistics.
• NIH Data Book gives a wealth of summary statistics on extramural grants and research and development contract awards, including the organizations and researchers that NIH supports as well as application success rates. Learn more in the January 2019 NIH Open Mike blog.
