Budget and Legislative Information
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invests approximately $3 billion annually in medical research related to heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. More than 89 percent of NHLBI's annual budget supports researchers at more than 520 research institutions across the country and in other parts of the world. About seven percent of the NHLBI budget supports projects conducted by nearly 80 scientists in NHLBI laboratories located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, Maryland. In 2016, NHLBI released its Strategic Vision, which will guide the Institute’s research activities for the coming decade. Read the NHLBI Strategic Vision.
The NHLBI receives the vast majority of its funding through an annual appropriation from the U.S. Congress. The NHLBI is also authorized by Congress to accept donations and bequests to support its mission. Learn more about the NHLBI Gift Fund.
