NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH RESEARCH
FUNDING PER DISEASE
(Reproduction of NIH
Table. It should be noted that the 2006 estimates have
been adjusted lower by the NIH. Since funding has been reduced for most
illnesses in 2007, this 2006 change gives the impression of a lesser reduction in
funding than what has actually occurred.)

| 1/ Includes research
on HIV/AIDS, its associated opportunistic infections,
malignancies, & clinical manifestations as well as basic
science that also benefits a wide spectrum of non-AIDS
disease research. N/A = Data not available.
The FAIR Foundation: The above footnote was added by the
NIH in an attempt to justify the exorbitant AIDS
funding. We believe credit should go to AIDS researchers
whose efforts have, by chance, been found to help
patients with other diseases; however, we believe it is
inappropriate for the NIH to expect non-AIDS patients to
accept the gross disparities in funding because of the
attitude, "AIDS research may help find a cure for
your disease some day." All non-AIDS diseases represent
patients who want the NIH studying their diseases in a
fair and equitable manner, no more and no less.
2/
It
should be noted that in the 2006 and 2007 columns,
minority AIDS has been either deleted or moved away from directly
under the HIV/AIDS line by the NIH. With it
directly under the HIV/AIDS line, allocation of AIDS
funding would be more thoroughly reported by the NIH.
