Data on Number of Research Project Grants per Principal Investigator
Earlier this year, we posted a blog about inequalities in Research Project Grant (RPG) support for extramural principal investigators (PIs). The blog was based on a paper we published in which we showed, among other things, that well-funded PIs not only were supported by more money but also by a larger number of distinct grants. Over 80% of the PIs in the top centile (top 1%) of funding were supported by two or more grants, compared to only 33% of the PIs in the bottom 99%. Many comments to that post requested data on time-related trends of number of RPGs supporting individual PIs. Figure 1 shows exactly that. In Fiscal Ye...

NIH All About Grants Podcast – Sex As a Biological Variable
Dr. Chyren Hunter, Associate Director for Basic and Translational Research,NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health NIH expects that sex as a biological variable (SABV) will be factored into research designs, analyses, and reporting in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Accounting for SABV helps interpret and validate research findings, as well as enhances the rigor, reproducibility, and applicability of biomedical research. But how exactly do you account for SABV? Dr. Chyren Hunter with the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health explains more in this NIH All About Grants podcast episode (MP3 / Transcript). She out...
