Major Changes in the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Request

Major changes by budget mechanism and/or budget activity detail are briefly described below. Note that there may be overlap between budget mechanism and activity detail and these highlights will not sum to the total change for the FY 2010 budget request for NIBIB, which is +$4.479 million more than the FY 2009 Enacted, for a total of $312.687 million.

Research Project Grants (+$3.126 million, total $214.413 million): NIBIB will support a total of 519 Research Project Grant (RPG) awards in FY 2010 (excluding SBIR/STTR).The number of noncompeting awards will decrease by 53 and the funding level will decrease by $11.333 million. The number of competing RPGs will increase by 35 and the funding level will increase by $14.459 million. The NIH budget policy for RPGs in FY 2010 provides a 2% inflationary increase in noncompeting awards and a 2% increase in the average cost for competing RPGs.

Technological Competitiveness- Bridging the Sciences (+$1.210 million; total $24.281 million): In FY 2010 NIBIB will commence the second phase of the Quantum Grant program with $6.000 million, an increase of $1.000 million over the FY 2009 costs of phase one awards. The goal of the Quantum program is to profoundly improve the detection, diagnosis, prevention or treatment of major diseases or national public health problems with new technologies.
