Major Changes in the Fiscal Year 2013 President’s Budget Request

The FY 2013 budget request for NIBIB is $1.058 million less than the FY 2012 level, for a total of $336.896 million.

Research Project Grants (RPGs; +$2.834 million; total $230.140 million): NIBIB will continue to fund a substantial number of RPGs, 570 awards in FY 2013, an increase of 9 awards and $2.834 million from FY 2012. This includes 182 competing RPGs (an increase of 42 awards and $15.337 million from FY 2012) and 353 non-competing awards (a decrease of 34 awards and $12.758 million from FY 2012). NIH budget policy for RPGs in FY 2013 discontinues inflationary allowances and reduces the average cost of noncompeting and competing RPGs by one percent below the FY 2012 level.

Training (-$0.033 million; total $10.707 million): NIH will provide an across-the-board increase in FY 2013 of two percent for stipends levels under the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award training program. Training costs are also reflected in the FY 2013 Technological Competitiveness - Bridging the Sciences program total, as all NIBIB training activities are within that program.

Research & Development Contracts (-$3.708 million; total $16.904 million): The requested reduction for Research and Development Contracts as compared to the FY 2012 Enacted level is mostly due to a large one-time contract that required funding for a two-year increment in FY2012 that has no additional funding requirement in FY 2013.
