THE PROGRAM INDICATORS A NIH Causes of declines in award rates and paylines Historically, the impact of budget decisions on the competing research grant programs of NIH and ADAMHA has been measured in terms of award rates and paylines.

It is reported that the House Appropriations Committee complained that keeping two sets of books on priority scores was confusing, and, as a consequence, the normalization effort was discontinued in 1980. However, four of the institutes are, for purposes of funding, currently arraying the priority scores of each of the study sections in percentile ranks and selecting a uniform funding cut-off point on a percentile basis (e.g., in terms of the top 20 percent for each study section)

to the first half of the 1980s dropped 17 percent, the success rate dropped only 9 percent. The success rate measure has the merit of eliminating distortions caused by changes in study section behavior but, of course, totally discounts the improved quality factor, whatever the extent of that may be.

1984. Despite steady increases in the number of projects funded and relatively stable award rates through the 1980s, the ADAMHA paylines steadily decreased, which means that, as for the NIH programs, more and more of the approved ADAMHA applications were being scored in the high priority bracket.
