How Many Researchers: The Positive Trend Continued into FY 2020
Now that fiscal year (FY) 2020 grants data are available in the NIH Data Book, let’s see how many unique scientists sought support on NIH research project grants (RPGs). The “cumulative investigator rate,” a person-based metric that looks at the likelihood that unique investigators are funded over a five-year window, has moved in a positive direction in recent years (see here for FYs 2019, 2018, and 2017), and we were pleased to see the trend mostly continue into FY 2020.
Before diving into the 2020 data, a quick reminder about the NIH’s five-year cumulative investigator rate. To determine it, we take the number of...

Helping To Protect the Privacy of Participants in Non-NIH Funded Research
You likely know that for human-participant research funded wholly or in part by NIH, we automatically issue Certificates of Confidentiality (CoCs) as a term and condition of award. CoCs protect identifiable, sensitive information of people who participate from being disclosed to others not associated with the study. More about the CoC policy can be found on this blog and podcast. But, for human-participant research funded by an entity other than NIH, did you know that you can reach out to us to request a CoC as well?
We offer this service for certain non-NIH funded projects to strengthen the privacy protections afforded t...
