NIBIB FY 2007 Funding Strategy - Revised August 20, 2007

For FY 2007, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) received an appropriation of $296,810,000 to support research and training programs. Our goal is to fund the largest number of meritorious projects possible while maintaining the flexibility needed to support selected program priorities and to respond to emerging scientific opportunities.

To maximize our support of meritorious applications, NIBIB has instituted a policy of reductions to individual grants. For FY 2007, the reductions and the pay lines for different grant mechanisms are indicated on the table below. The information in this table represents a projected pay line and is subject to revision. No conclusions about the funding of any particular grant should be based on this table. If you have questions about your particular grant contact your Program Director. R01 applications from new investigators are supported to a higher percentile ranking as described in the New Investigator Policy.

For the NIH Fiscal Operation Plan for FY 2007, see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-030.html.

Note: BRP and P41 grants will be funded for 5 years if requested. Other R01 awards will be limited to 4 years.
