Data were run on 9/2/2025. Data reflect applications assigned to be administered by NIA, with potential funding from NIA, other NIH resources, and/or other federal resources. Only applications that are normally percentiled were included. As applications in response to RFAs, and a few other applications, are not normally percentiled, the number of applications in Table 2 is usually less than the corresponding number of RPG applications in Table 1A.
