  7. NIA Mission • Established in 1974 to support and conduct research on: • aging processes • age-related diseases • special problems and needs of the aged • Train and develop research scientists • Provide research resources • Disseminate information on health and research advances

  8. Difference from FY2003 In Current Dollars: $106.9M Increase In Constant Dollars: $177.3M Decrease 17.9% decrease FY2003-2011

  9. Proportion of Total NIA Budget FY 2010 RPGs are 64% Proportion of Total NIH Budget, FY2010 RPGs are 52%

  10. NIA COMPETING GRANTS AVERAGE PERCENTAGE OF AWARDED DIRECT COST DOLLARS FY 2006-2010 9.4% >$3.0M 8.9% >$1.5-$3.0M 41.2% <$300K 40.5% $300K-$1.5M

  11. Measures of Funding and Awards Payline -- Institute-specific measure of the percentile rank or impact rating through whichcertain groups of applications will be paid. Institutes calculate paylines differently. Success Rate -- NIH-wide measure of the percentage of awards made from the applications received. Each application is counted only once per year.

  12. FY2010 Pay line 8%ile

  13. Factors Contributing to Reduced NIA Payline • Fewer small grants submitted, e.g. R03s, R21s • “Big science,” e.g., clinical trials • Average size of typical grants, e.g., R01s increased

  14. NIA RPG Percentile Paylines -- FY2011 < $500k         ≥ $500k Established P.I.                               11                            8 Early Stage P.I. (R01 only)            16                           13 Other new P.I. (R01 only)            14                           11

  15. Institute Projected Paylines -- FY2011 * NIA paylines differ for large and small grants

  16. New Investigators and NIA Opportunities R01 applications from new investigators: One of NIA’s highest priorities for discretionary funds May be funded out of strict percentile order (K01) Promoting Careers in Aging and Health Disparities Research (K08 & K23) Paul B. Beeson Career Development Awards in Aging

  17. New Investigators Program at NIH http://grants.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/ Pathway to Independence Award NIH Director's New Innovator Award NRSA Individual and Institutional Training Awards Career Development Awards - K Kiosk Research Project Grant Program - (R01) NIH Institute and Center Practices Resources for New Investigators
