The ability of the United States to most efficiently make breakthroughs on the
biology, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases requires that physicians and
scientists in each state have equal access to federal research grants and grant
dollars. However, despite legislative and administrative efforts to ensure equal
access, the majority of funding for biomedical research is concentrated in a
minority of states. To gain insight into the causes of such disparity, funding
metrics were examined for all NIH research project grants (RPGs) from 2004 to
2013. State-by-state differences in per application success rates, per
investigator funding rates, and average award size each contributed significantly
to vast disparities (greater than 100-fold range) in per capita RPG funding to
individual states. To the extent tested, there was no significant association
overall between scientific productivity and per capita funding, suggesting that
the unbalanced allocation of funding is unrelated to the quality of scientists in
each state. These findings reveal key sources of bias in, and new insight into
the accuracy of, the funding process. They also support evidence-based
recommendations for how the NIH could better utilize the scientific talent and
capacity that is present throughout the United States.
