Description:
|
The number of investigators applying for competing RPG awards increased during the NIH budget “doubling period” (FY 1998 through FY 2002) and this trend has continued. The drop in the number of funded competing awards since 2003 has resulted in lower funding rates. Source: NIH Division of Information Services Success Rate Files
