Continuing Our Commitment to Research Project Grants

Monday, Jun 4, 2012 2:47 PM EST by Judith Greenberg | 0 Comments

Last September, I posted our funding allocation for research project grants (RPGs) in Fiscal Year 2012. I noted our strong commitment to RPGs—the vast majority of which are investigator-initiated R01 grants—and showed that we expected to spend 67% of our budget on them. I want to update you on our Fiscal Year 2012 budget, which [...]

I want to highlight two items from the monthly digest of postings from NIH’s Office of Extramural Research. On November 8 from 1:00 to 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, NIH will host a webinar on a new high-risk, high-reward program, the NIH Director’s Transformative Research Awards. It’ll provide an overview of the program and details about [...]

Another Look at Measuring the Scientific Output and Impact of NIGMS Grants

Monday, Nov 22, 2010 1:19 PM EST by Jeremy Berg | 33 Comments

In a recent post, I described initial steps toward analyzing the research output of NIGMS R01 and P01 grants. The post stimulated considerable discussion in the scientific community and, most recently, a Nature news article . In my earlier post, I noted two major observations. First, the output (measured by the number of publications from [...]
