Data on Implementing NIH ’s Next Generation Researchers Initiative
Discussion Rate” is, like the Funding Rate a person-based metric, and is calculated as the percent of applicants (actually people designated as PI’s on an application) who had at least one application make it to the discussion stage of peer review.
As Table 2 indicates, discussion and funding rates in FY 2020 are higher for women in the At Risk and New Not Early groups, but not for the Early Stage and Established groups. Women comprise a greater proportion of Early-Stage Investigator applicants (46%) than any of the other groups including New Investigators, At Risk Investigators and Established Investigators (e.g., wom...

An Updated Look at Applications Submitted During the Pandemic
In a previous post, we looked at the gender distribution of designated principal investigators (PI’s) of R01 and Research Project Grant (RPG) applications submitted before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time, we have paid close attention to the well-being of the extramural biomedical research workforce, in part through our survey of institutional leaders and scientists. Others have followed preprint postings and publications, finding evidence of the pandemic’s disproportionate effects. Here we look at NIH R01 and RPG application patterns for January 1 through April 8 over the past 6 years...

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...
