Notes Regarding Tables I and II

Note 1: (Table I) Dollar figures shown are requested first year direct costs of competing applications for FY2008 Council rounds.

Note 2: (Table I) Research Project Grant applications shown in the first line include the following activity codes: P01 (Program Projects), R01 (Research Projects), R03 (Small grant applications ), R15 (Academic Research Enhancement Awards), R21 (Exploratory/Developmental Awards), R33 (Exploratory/Developmental Grants Phase II), R34 (Clinical Trial Planning Grants), R36 (Dissertation Awards), R37 ( Method to Extend Research in Time (MERIT) Awards), R56 (High Priority Short Term Project Awards), and U01 (Cooperative Agreements). Contracts are not included. Costs shown are the first year total direct costs requested. Facilities and Administrative costs are not included.

Note 3: (Table II) Data include applications reviewed or to be reviewed by Council, applications considered not competitive, and applications requesting $50,000 or less.

Note 4: (Table II) The data may include competing supplements to existing awards. These supplements are counted as separate applications except in the Center Grants budget category.

Note 5: (Table II) The data include Research Project Grants that were percentiled in review. Therefore, the "number reviewed" in Table II is less than the corresponding number of applications in line 1 of Table I. In addition, applications in response to RFAs are not percentiled. In summary, the data in Table II include Research Project Grant applications to NIA for Council Rounds in FY2007 & 2008 as long as they are not in response to an RFA and have been percentiled.
