NIH Boosts AI and ML Funding 233%

NIH funding for AI and machine learning research rose between fiscal years 2019 and 2023, increasing nominally from $0.6 billion to $2.3 billion and inflation-adjusted by 233%, while active projects grew from 1,229 to 3,449. A random sample of 1,091 principal investigators found 70% held only a PhD (accounting for 64% of funding), whereas MD/DO investigators comprised 23% of sampled PIs but received under 20% of dollars, highlighting a PhD-dominated funding landscape.
