APPENDIX: ADDITIONAL DATA Chapter 2 presents data on R01 and R23/29 applications and awards. This appendix provides additional detail. The following tables show the complete series of data for R01, R23, R29, and R37 awards. These award types are described in Chapter 2. All support individual investigators, but they differ in important respects. R23/R29 awards are intended for investigators at an early stage of their careers. As the figures here indicate, almost all applicants are in the younger age cohorts. R37 awards recognize persons at a more advanced stage of their careers who are invited to apply for the awards. The applicants are mainly in the middle to older age groups. The success rate for R37s is almost 100%. This committee considers R01 grants to be the best medium for comparison among different age groups because R01s may be applied for by persons of any age or degree of experience. Thus, Figure 2-6 uses R01 data only. Readers who wish to examine the influence of adding R23/29 or R37 grants or both to the R01 data are provided with the basic information here. For each age group, a column has been added to show the percentage of all applications submitted by the persons in that age group. The added figures show, for example, that persons 36 and under constituted 17.2% of all R01 grant applicants in 1985 and 7.2% in 1993. Totals of applications submitted and awards made and overall success rates for all age groups are included in this appendix. The data presented here are for all competing applications in the series shown and for all of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), including the research programs of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration and related institutes that were transferred to NIH in 1992. Data on persons of unknown age are excluded. We are indebted to Robert Moore and James Tucker of the National Institutes of Health, Division of Research Grants, Information Systems Branch, Statistical Analysis and Evaluation Section, for their patient responses to frequent requests for data and special analyses and for confirmation of the data we have presented on NIH grants.
