The value of the payments made to projects by Science Foundation Ireland in the overall area of healthcare in each of the years 2006 to 2015 is detailed in the following table.

Please note the following caveats:

1. SFI brought in the implementation of award categorisation in 2009. Therefore, there may be awards prior to that time that could have been aligned to "Healthcare" but as the processes were not in place within the agency at that time and the awards would not have been active when categorisation was implemented we are unable to include those awards.

2. A number of Research Centres are included in these figures. It is important to note that components of the total awards funded to these Centres are relevant. These Centres are large-scale and multi-institutional. Although components are relevant to Healthcare the full Centre benefits from the Centre-wide infrastructure.

3. Please note, the term "Healthcare" is very broad. The awards represented below are funded across a broad spectrum of research. Search terms used to draw this data include: Biomedicine, Biochemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Human Disease and Pathology, Vaccines, Microbiology, Chemistry, Materials Science, Genetics and Genomics, Neuroscience, Engineering, plus many others.
