Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City Enters the NIH Funding Top 10 for the First Time: More Than $514 Million Across 696 Grants and Contracts in Fiscal Year 2026 Ranks No. 9 Nationally, the Only Freestanding Medical School in the Top 10
NEW YORK, New York — The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai announced on November 9 that in fiscal year 2026, which ended September 30, the school advanced for the first time into the top 10 medical schools nationally in research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), placing No. 9 nationally in biomedical research grant funding — higher than any other medical school in New York State — and standing as the only freestanding medical school among the top 10 NIH grant recipients.
According to the school, in fiscal year 2026 its investigators secured more than $514 million in total NIH funding across 696 grants and contracts in areas including the brain, immunology, cancer, heart, genomics, AI and human health, and vaccines and pandemic preparedness. The school also ranked No. 5 in North America and No. 6 globally for health care research in the 2026 Nature Index Research Leaders Rankings, and was recognised this year by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research for 13 of its specialties making the top 10 nationwide for NIH funding, reflecting awards garnered in 2025.
Brendan G. Carr, chief executive officer of the Mount Sinai Health System, said the school is proud to be one of the nation's top 10 recipients of NIH funding and that the accomplishment reflects its talent and innovation. Eric J. Nestler, dean of the Icahn School of Medicine, called this a milestone year for the school's research and education enterprises. Founded in 1968 as a school within a hospital, the school is the sole academic partner for the seven member hospitals of the Mount Sinai Health System, with enrollment of more than 1,200 students and more than 2,700 clinical residents and fellows in training.
