NIH is implementing multiple changes that will impact the preparation and peer review of most grant applications submitted to NIH for due dates on or after January 25, 2025. Although each of these initiatives have specific goals, they are all meant to simplify, clarify, or ensure greater fairness.
Last October, we announced that NIH was implementing a simplified review framework for most research project grants (RPGs). Today, NIH released a Guide Notice to provide an update on our implementation plans for the simplified review framework.
From 2014 to 2018, the NIH budget increased every year, and yet, the Research Project Grant (RPG) success rate remained relatively constant at ~20%. From 2003 to 2006 the NIH budget remained relatively flat, yet the success rate decreased dramatically from 30% to 20%. Why don’t success rates neatly track the NIH budget?
Make plans to hear the latest updates, timelines, and how these changes will impact existing and new funding opportunities at the April 17 webinar on the simplified review framework for RPGs.
