Current trends in the allocation of National Institute of Health funding of brain tumor research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The National Institute of Health (NIH) provides a sizable annual budget toward brain tumor research. However, funding allocation for specific pathologies remains poorly described. We aimed to characterize the current landscape of NIH funding toward brain tumors as a function of pathology.

Methods

NIHRePORTER was queried to identify studies focused on glioblastoma, pediatric glioma, oligodendroglioma, brain metastasis, meningioma, pituitary adenoma, and vestibular schwannoma, from 2000 to 2023. Studies with R, U, and P funding mechanisms were included. Data were compiled and assessed according to pathology.

Results

Across these 7 tumors, 3320 unique studies with R, U, or P funding mechanisms were identified from 2000 to 2023. These were conducted across 480
