Federal research investments drive innovation, economic growth and job creation, supporting breakthroughs in science, technology and medicine, and fueling local economies. In 2024 alone, NIH grants produced $94.5 billion in economic activity nationwide and supported over 400,000 jobs.
According to Penn State University's most recent economic impact report, the university contributes $4.3 billion annually to the local economy and supports nearly 36,000 jobs.
