Notes:

1 The percentile payline applies to R01 applications submitted to parent R01 Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs). Other percentiled and non-percentiled R01 applications are select pay. The percentile payline for new investigator R01 applications submitted to parent R01 FOAs is 5% higher, i.e. 21%. See policy at New investigator Funding Policy.

2  The NIBIB Expanded Opportunity Zone (EOZ) policy allows selected funding for some applications with percentile scores beyond the payline. Criteria are outlined at EOZ. 

3 No fixed payline exists for R21 awards. R21 applications received under PAR-18-433 and PAR-20-084 are considered for funding on a case-by-case basis based on programmatic considerations.

4  No fixed payline exists for R03, R15, P41, and U01 awards. Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis based on programmatic considerations. 

5  No fixed payline exists for F, K, T32, SBIR, and STTR grants. A limited number of awards are available for highly meritorious applications. Funding decisions are also based on programmatic considerations and available funds.
