Funding Plan Fiscal Year 2009

March 20, 2009

NIAMS Operating Level: $524,872,000

Each fiscal year, once an appropriation has been received, the Institute develops an operating plan for the funding of research and training grants. Many factors occurring throughout the fiscal year can affect the operating policies, thus they are subject to change. For the most current information, it is always best to check with an appropriate Institute official.

Research Project Grants

• In accordance with NIH policy, noncompeting awards will be issued at the most recently committed levels. Noncompeting awards previously issued in FY 2009 at reduced levels will be revised to restore funds to the level indicated above. To review the NIH fiscal policy for noncompeting grant awards, please see the link below: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-09-066.html
• The payline for competing R01 applications will be through the percentile of 15.0.
• The payline for competing R01 applications from new investigators will be through the percentile of 18.0. Consistent with NIH policy, both investigators must be new for a dual-investigator application to be eligible for the payline advantage.
• The payline for R21 applications will be through the percentile of 15.0.
• The payline for the R03 solicitation will be through priority score 160.
• Based on case-by-case review of grant applications by program directors, reductions from direct costs recommended will be approximately 10 percent. Competing awards previously issued in FY 2009 at the higher reduction will be revised to restore funds. No reductions will be taken on applications with direct costs of $100,000 or less.
• SBIR/STTR
  • The payline for SBIR applications will be through priority score 185.
  • The payline for STTR applications is currently pending and will be announced at a later date.

Research Career Awards

• K01/K02/K08/K25 applications will be paid through the priority score of 149.
• K23/K24 applications will be paid through the priority score of 163.
• K99 applications will be paid through the priority score of 154.

Research Training

• Research fellowship applications (F31, F32, and F33) will be paid through the priority score of 180.
• Institutional training applications (T32) will be paid through the priority score of 137.
