The '''Research Project Grants''', established in 1945 under the Public Health Service Act of 1944, are administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) within the Department of Health and Human Services through its institutes and centers (e.g., National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) to provide competitive grants to researchers, allocating over $300 billion since inception to support approximately 30,000 projects annually by 2025. Initially funded with $2 million, it has grown to distribute $25 billion in FY 2024 across 30,000 awards, funding research in areas like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and infectious diseases at academic institutions and research organizations nationwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/funding_program.htm |title=NIH Funding Opportunities |publisher=National Institutes of Health}}</ref> Despite its impact, challenges like funding competition and administrative burdens persist (web ID: 7), but it remains a cornerstone of NIH’s research efforts.
