In recent years, we have supported record high numbers of early stage investigators (ESIs) designated on new (type 1) R01-equivalent awards. Today, we are pleased to share an update on the number of ESIs supported in FY 2023 with the addition of data on age.
In 2021, we showed that the age at which a researcher is designated on an NIH award for the first time had increased since 1995 and plateaued in the 2010s, and that age differences were most correlated with the terminal degree of the investigator. Today we are sharing an update on these data for FYs 2021-2023, including information related to degree, gender, race, ethnicity, and disability status.

Over the past two years, we supported 1,412 early stage investigators (ESIs) in fiscal year (FY) 2020 and 1,513 in FY 2021, which were both all-time highs. These ESIs were first-time Principal Investigators (PIs) designated on type 1 (new) R01-equivalent awards. Today, we are pleased to announce that even more ESIs were supported in FY 2022 as part of our continued Next Generation Researchers Initiative (NGRI) efforts.

Last summer, we reported that in fiscal year 2020 NIH supported 1,412 early-stage investigators (ESIs) as first-time Principal Investigators on R01-equivalent awards. This all-time high was seen after several years of steady growth in the number of ESIs supported since implementing NIH’s Next Generation Researchers Initiative five years ago. Today, we take a look specifically at how ESIs and other targeted groups fared last fiscal year.
