Do the numbers in RCDC reports add up to the total NIH budget?
No. All of the categories added together will not equal the total NIH appropriation for the following reasons: • Research projects are often applicable to more than one RCDC category. • RCDC categories are by their nature overlapping (for example, Brain Research, Neuroscience, and Mental Health). • RCDC categories do not encompass all types of biomedical research. As a result, some NIH-funded projects might fall into several of the 215 reported categories, whereas other projects will not be categorized at all.
