Foreign institutions are eligible for grants from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) for biomedical research. Applications undergo a two-tier process of peer review. Most applications are approved and about a third succeed in obtaining funding. Each year the NIH awards about 300 research grants and contracts to foreign institutions and supports another 100 international research fellows. In the fiscal year 1984, the NIH spent about +35 million on these awards--about half the amount that it spent on international activities.
外国机构有资格获得美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的生物医学研究资助。申请要经过两级同行评审程序。大多数申请获得批准，约三分之一成功获得资金。每年，NIH向外国机构授予约300项研究资助和合同，并资助另外100名国际研究员。1984财年，NIH在这些奖项上花费了约3500万美元，约为其在国际活动上花费金额的一半。
