Notes:
Analysis includes all Principal Investigators

R01-equivalent awards include R01, R23, R29, and R37 activity codes and, beginning in fiscal year 2008, DP2 awards to first-time NIH investigators. Not all of these activities are in use by NIH every year.

Not included are awards made under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and, beginning with fiscal year 2009, awards made under reimbursable agreements, appropriations to NIH for Superfund-related activities, gift funds, and Breast Cancer Research Stamp funds.
