Ranking of NIA-reviewed P01, U01, U19, and R01 applications

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2012 NIA is discontinuing use of percentile ranks for program project applications and for other Research Project Grant (RPG) applications that are reviewed by NIA committees (for example, multi-site clinical trials). These applications will be considered separately from other RPG applications and have a separate funding line based upon priority/impact score and available funds. For FY12, NIA will allocate to this line no more than the average share of the funds expended on these kinds of competing awards for the preceding two years (FY10 and FY11). The need for this change has become apparent because available methods for assigning a percentile to NIA-reviewed applications (either against the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) base or against other NIA-reviewed P01s) have failed to achieve an appropriate metric for ranking.
