NIBIB will pay FY25 non-competing continuation awards at their full committed level as shown in the Notice of Award.

Notes:

²No fixed payline exists. Applications are considered for funding on a case-by-case basis based on programmatic considerations and available funds.

³The NIBIB Expanded Opportunity Zone (EOZ) policy allows selected funding for some applications with percentile scores beyond the payline. Criteria are outlined at EOZ .
