Funding

The members of the CBN have been successful in obtaining funding from competitive sources such as the National Institute of Health, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, private foundations, and industry. As the graph below illustrates, CBN members bring in a disproportionate amount of research funding to UT Health San Antonio. Specifically, 57 CBN members who received NIH funding in FY24 represent 24% of all NIH-funded investigators at UT Health San Antonio but brought in 36% of total NIH funding. NIH funding to CBN investigators increased by 4% over FY23. Overall, there are 78 CBN investigators funded from any source, representing 17% of the funded investigators at UT Health San Antonio. These CBN investigators brought in 36% of total research funding. Total CBN funding increased by 10% over FY23. In addition to R01-type individual grants, CBN members effectively obtain funding for Center Grants, Program Project Grants, Training Grants, K-awards, and our students and post docs have been very successful in obtaining individual NRSA Fellowships (F-awards).
