Trends in NIH Awards to AIRI Members: 1950-2010

This report presents an overview of the trends in NIH awards presented to members of the Association of Independent Research Institutes (AIRI) from 1950 to 2010. It includes information on funding rates, success rates, and characteristics of NIH-supported investigators. The report also analyzes the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) on NIH funding.

  1. AIRI Statistics Trends In NIH AwardsPresented at Association of Independent Research Institutes 2009 Annual Meeting October 7, 2009 Seattle, Washington Robert F. MooreKatrina PearsonRobin M.

  2. Overview • Methods • Definitions • Policy Changes • NIH Budget Authority and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) • NIH Support to All Grantees and AIRI Members • Competing Applications, Funding and Success Rates • Characteristics of NIH-Supported Investigators • Summary

  3. Methods • Data sources: President’s Budget and NIH systems • Fiscal years evaluated = 1950 - 2010 • Analyzed grants and contracts for current AIRI members • Exception: FY09 contracts data are excluded because they are not yet available • FY09 grants data are preliminary • ARRA excluded from all slides unless noted • Evaluated budget in terms of current dollars and constant dollars adjusted for inflation • Budget figures in current dollars unless otherwise stated • Analyzed and compared data on all NIH applicants and awardees to the subset from AIRI institutions

  4. Definitions • New (Type 1) • Competing Continuation: Types 2, 4, and 9 • Resubmissions: Competing applications submitted to address concerns of previous application. Formerly known as amendments. • Revisions: Competing applications modifying existing awards to take advantage of new insights and discoveries. Formerly known as competing supplements.

  5. Definitions – Standard Mechanisms Research Grants: R,P,M,S,K,U,G12,D42,DP1 and DP2 • Research Project Grants (RPGs): Includes the following selected Research Grant and Cooperative Agreement activities: R01, R03, R15, R21, R22, R23, R29, R33, R34, R35, R36, R37, R55, R56, RC1, P01, P42, PN1, U01, U19, UC1, NIGMS P41 • R01 Equivalent: R01, R29 and R37 • R21: Exploratory, novel studies that break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications, including high risk high reward studies.

  6. Definitions Cont’d • Number of Applications: Total applications submitted for review, including resubmissions and revisions. Sometimes called workload • Success Rate: Indicates the percentage of reviewed RPG applications receiving funding computed on a fiscal year basis. It is determined by dividing the number of competing applications funded by the sum of the total number of competing applications reviewed and the number of funded carryovers. NOTE: Applications having one or more amendments in the same fiscal year are only counted once. Success rate computations exclude SBIR/STTRs • Funding Rate: The percentage of applicants funded in a fiscal year. An applicant is only counted once, regardless of the number of applications submitted

  31. Summary - I • American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) $10.4 billion total, $9.9 billion in extramural funding • Select recently peer reviewed highly meritorious research grant applications (R01s and others), that can be accomplished in 2 years or less. • Fund new research applications. • Accelerate the tempo of ongoing science through targeted supplements to current grants. • Support new types of activities such as the NIH Challenge Grant program that meet the goals of the ARRA. • $1 Billion extramural construction, repairs, and alterations in support of all NIH funded research institutions and $300 million for shared instrumentation and other capital equipment to support all NIH activities • ARRA funding changed a pattern of steady funding since the end of the doubling in FY 2003.

  32. Summary -II • In FY 2008, AIRI members received over $1.4 billion in NIH extramural support including R&D contracts. • AIRI members continue to receive a steady percentage of the total NIH grant and contract budget (5.9 – 6.6 percent) • A smaller percent of NIH grant support is devoted to R01 equivalents in FY 2008 (46.7 percent) than in FY 1998 (56 percent). The data for AIRI Institutions is similar (59.9 percent in FY 1998, 46.6 percent in FY 2008) • In FY 2008, NCI and NIAID provided the largest amount of grant support to AIRI members ($355 million and $322 million , respectively). • The Office of Research on Women’s Health, Office of the Director and NHGRI all awarded more than 10 percent of their budgets to AIRI members.

  33. Summary - III • Grants to AIRI cost more due to higher indirect costs. • The number of distinct R01 equivalent amended applications is increasing. Amendments have higher success rates than original applications, both for competing new and continuation R01 applications. • AIRI members had better success rates than the NIH average except in FY 2007. • The trend toward increasingly older first time investigators seems to have ended. The average age in FY 2008 was 42.5 years. • In FY 2008, younger applicants had higher success rates for new R01 equivalent awards than older groups, but this pattern was not observed for competing continuations.
