Area of Science:

  • Behavioral and social sciences
  • Public health research
  • Health policy

Background:

  • Noncommunicable diseases are the leading global cause of death, strongly linked to behavior.
  • Behavioral and social sciences have been historically underfunded within the NIH, influenced by a biomedical research model.
  • A 1990 Senate recommendation aimed for 10% of the NIH budget to fund behavioral and social sciences research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the history of funding for behavioral and social science research at the NIH from 1980 to 2016.
  • To examine efforts by the NIH and the American Psychological Association to meet funding goals.
  • To analyze the impact of federal funding patterns on scientific disciplines.

Main Methods:

  • Historical funding data analysis from various sources.
  • Review of policy recommendations and institutional efforts.
  • Examination of correlations between extramural funding and academic growth.

Main Results:

  • Data indicates the 10% funding goal for behavioral and social sciences research has not been achieved.
  • Federal funding patterns significantly influence scientific discipline growth, faculty numbers, and salaries.
  • NIH and American Psychological Association initiatives to increase funding are detailed.

Conclusions:

  • A renewed commitment to increasing federal investment in behavioral and social sciences research is essential.
  • Adequate funding is crucial for the advancement of fields influencing public health outcomes.
  • Addressing underfunding is necessary to leverage the full potential of behavioral and social sciences in combating noncommunicable diseases.
