How Many Researchers? …Revisited…the FY 2018 NIH’s Cumulative Investigator Rate
In March 2018, we showed data suggesting that, despite still being in a state of hyper-competition (as described in this post), the severity may be lessening. The number of unique applicants for NIH research project grants (RPGs) appeared to stabilize after many years of uninterrupted growth. Furthermore, a person-based metric, called the cumulative investigator rate, started to rise in fiscal year (FY) 2015 for RPGs after declines in previous years. With FY 2018 grants information now available in the NIH Data Book, we wanted to see if this positive trend continued. As in my March 2018 blog, the FY 2018 cumulative inv...

Limited Competition for the Continuation of the Chronic Kidney Disease Biomarkers Consortium (CKD BioCon) Data Coordinating Center (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-19-501 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The Chronic Kidney Disease Biomarkers Consortium [CKD BioCon] was established in September 2009 as a result of RFA-DK-08-015 [Chronic Kidney Disease Biomarker Discovery and Validation Consortium (U01)] to develop, validate and qualify biomarkers based on existing biosamples from well-characterized CKD patients with longitudinal follow-up. The second phase of the CKD BioCon was funded in September 2014, pursuant to RFA DK-14-011. Two additional Centers were brought into the Consortium in 2015. The CKD BioCon currently consists of eight Partici...

Seeking Input on the Need to Enhance Access to NIH Grants Data
NIH has long been committed to transparency into who and what we fund. We have previously discussed the value of freely-available web tools that allow you to gain insight into NIH funding decisions. Award data available via RePORT and RePORTER, for instance, include non-sensitive information such as awardee institution, principal investigator, funding levels, research abstracts, as well as associated publications, patents, and other project outcomes. Better yet, if you want to see all of these data all at once, then ExPORTER allows you to download over 25 years’ worth of such non-sensitive NIH grant award data. Resea...
