UC San Francisco received $824 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2025 to drive the discovery, translational, and clinical science that leads to new treatments for disease and advances U.S. leadership in health and science.

The grants enable UCSF researchers to develop better therapies for cancer, diabetes, and dementia, pursue new technologies with AI, and fight infectious diseases like tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria that kill millions of people around the world each year. Federal funding also trains the next generation of scientists.

UCSF was the largest public recipient of NIH awards in 2025, and the second largest overall. The UCSF Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry were first among their peers, and the School of Nursing was first among public institutions and fourth overall. Totals are for the fiscal year that started Oct. 1, 2024, and ended Sept. 30, 2025, as compiled by the Blue Ridge Mountain Institute for Medical Research. Read the UCSF.edu story.
