In FY 2026, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) received a budget of $440.6 million. This funding was secured under H.R.7148 - Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026. The NIBIB utilizes this funding primarily for extramural research, with nearly 85% percent going to researchers at various universities, hospitals, industries, and research institutions.
The NIBIB’s budget is based on the fiscal year appropriation provided by Congress and signed into law by the President. A key component of the annual budget process is the development of the President’s Budget, which is presented to Congress in the form of the Congressional Justification (CJ). NIBIB CJs are posted below.
