13. Sources of Increase in Competing Applications • Total applications – 25,000 to ~50,000 • Average applications/applicant – 1.3 to1.5 (red contribution) • Number of applicants – 19,000 to ~32,000 (blue contribution)

15. Applications and applicants in a 5 year period Scenarios: No increase in applicants and only a higher application rate (from 0.54 to 0.62 applications/investigator/year) – RPG applications would have grown 16% from 148,878 applications to ~170,000. Increase in applicants only – RPG applications would have grown about 50%, from 148,878 to almost 225,000. Observed increase: 148,878 to 258,802
