## SUCCESS RATES

**SUCCESS RATES**

**A success rate is 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.  Note that applications having one or more amendments in the same fiscal year are only counted once.**

**Notes:**
The average cost of awards has been approaching the 75th percentile of awards.  This is caused by the presence of some very large research projects, which raise the average.

**Notes:**
The number of applications  for competing RPG awards increased during the “Doubling period” (FY 1998 – 2003) and has continued.  The drop in the number of funded competing awards since then has resulted in lower success rates.

**SUCCESS RATES OF SOLICITED AND UNSOLICITED** **NEW (TYPE 1) RESEARCH PROJECT GRANT APPLICATIONS**

**Notes:**
Because most applications for solicited research are new (type 1) it is logical to compare the success rates to other type 1 applications.  When that is done, there is no clear pattern to solicited and other applications.  The differences in success rates have been less than 1.5 percentage points in most fiscal years since FY 1995.

***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 uncoded sex/gender information and have therefore been excluded from the data presented.***

| 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.
