Overview

Analysis demonstrates advocacy efforts increased NIH funding for PCOS/PMOS, indicating ongoing disparities.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to evaluate the impact of advocacy efforts on NIH funding for PCOS/PMOS research.
  • Data from NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools were analyzed for funding years 2016-2022.
  • Comparative analysis of funding amounts for PCOS/PMOS, rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus was conducted.
  • Mean annual NIH funding for PCOS/PMOS increased to $31.8 M from a lower baseline, but remains significantly less than RA ($262.4 M), TB ($66.1 M), and SLE ($420.4 M).
  • PCOS/PMOS received 533 awards from 16 NIH ICs in 2016-2022, with the NICHD contributing 44.8% of funding, showing improved interest compared to prior periods.
