About this agency
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), a sub-agency within the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, funds and contracts for biomedical research, clinical trials, training, and scientific infrastructure in aging-related sciences and gerontology.
NIA administers a dual portfolio spanning both federal contracts and grants. On the contract side, NIA has awarded 7,098 contracts totaling $1.1 billion in combined potential value since December 1998, with $835.4 million obligated to date. Recent contract activity has declined: 394 awards in 2022, 380 in 2023, 420 in 2024, 260 in 2025, and 170 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is September 30, 2026. Among current prime contractors, the competitive landscape is fragmented by award count: 10X Genomics, Inc. leads with 132 awards ($11.8 million potential value), followed by Illumina, Inc. with 78 awards ($11.5 million), and Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC with 43 awards ($7.1 million)—together covering 19% of recent awards. By potential value, concentration is highly fragmented: the top five primes account for only 4% of combined potential value. Small-business set-asides represent a minimal portion of the contract portfolio: 97% of awards carry no set-aside designation, with Total Small Business representing 2% of volume and 8(a), woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned set-asides accounting for less than 1% combined.
On the grant side, NIA has obligated $60.3 billion in federal dollars across 15,500 grants since March 1977, with an additional $3.74 billion in non-federal matching funds. Grant activity over the last five years ran 1,473 awards in 2023, 1,334 in 2024, 707 in 2025, 869 in 2026, and 78 recorded awards so far in 2027 (the latest recorded award date is March 3, 2027). The top grant recipients are highly fragmented by both count and dollars: The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco and The General Hospital Corporation each hold 176 awards; The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco leads by federal dollars at $588.8 million, with The Trustees of Columbia University and University of Michigan following at $506.4 million and $471 million respectively. These five recipients collectively account for 12% of recent award count and 4% of federal dollars obligated. Nearly all grants (97%) are Project Grants; Cooperative Agreements comprise 3% of the assistance mix.
