NIAID Paylines (historic data by year and mechanism) NIAID: FY23: 11th/15th percentile for established/new-ESI R01s overall impact score of 27 for R03 & R21, 20 for R15, 31 for STTR, 34 for SBIR, 20 for F30, 19 for F31, 22 for F32, 20 for K (except K99), 18 for Ts NCI: FY23: 12th percentile for established and new investigator R01s (17th for ESI) 9th percentile for R21s impact score of 25 for R03s & R15s (descending order of budget, percentiles for established/new PIs) You can find details on the scoring procedure and interpretation as well as reviewer guidelines by mechanism.

Those ICs that traditionally do not publish payline or percentile guidance are indicated by “no payline data available” (& none probably ever will be). I’ve also included links to “ cleared concepts” (i.e., potential funding initiatives approved by the IC’s Advisory Council for future development into PAs or RFAs) and to IC program contacts (program officers). I update this page as ICs revise their funding strategies and answer questions submitted as comments as I am able (usually within 1-5 days) – others monitoring the blog often chime in as well with their knowledge and experience, which is fabulous and will provide more value than I ever could on my own.
