## The Involvement of Women in Career Development, Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Training and Fellowship Programs, and NIH Extramural Research

**WOMEN IN RESEARCH****:**

*Indication of sex/gender is a voluntary field on the personal data form of the grant application. Information presented in this slide set is based upon those individual who have selected a sex/gender on the grant application. A small percentage of grants have un-coded sex/gender information and have therefore been excluded from the data presented.*

 From 1991 until 1996 NCRR did not consider R21's research projects. 
 NLM had no research projects prior to 2007. 
 In FY 2002, P41s not RPG for NIGMS.  | Activity Code Descriptions |
| SBIR/STTR | SBIR awards are designed to support projects from small businesses ultimately having commercial viability. STTR awards are a A 3-year pilot program begun in FY 1994 under the Small Business Innovation Research Program designed to foster technological innovations through cooperative efforts between small business and research institutions. 
Activities are as follows: SBIR - R43, R44, U43 and U44. STTR - R41, R42 | SBIR and STTR Programs

SBIR Funding Opportunities |
| Success Rate | Indicates the percentage of reviewed applications receiving funding computed on a fiscal year basis. It is determined by dividing the number of competing applications funded by the sum of the total number of competing applications reviewed and the number of funded carryovers.
Success rates differ from funding rates in that calculated percentages are based on applications and not applicants (individuals). 
NOTE: Applications having one or more amendments in the same fiscal year are only counted once.  |  |
