Description

This report provides an overview of NIH funding awarded to Boston researchers in fiscal year 2025, a year marked by significant disruption in the federal research funding landscape. Despite proposed budget cuts, grant terminations, and a freeze on Harvard-affiliated funding, Boston received $2.46 billion across 3,983 grants, maintaining its position as the second-largest recipient of NIH funding in the country. The majority of funding supported world-renowned institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Boston Children's Hospital. While Boston's research funding held steady in FY2025, the long-term federal policy outlook remains uncertain.
