What is a good score on an NIH grant?

Generally speaking, impact/priority scores of 10 to 30 are most likely to be funded; scores between 31 and 45 might be funded; scores greater than 46 are rarely funded. Before 2009, NIH used a different score system, with final scores from 100 to 500, where 100 was best.

What does NINDS do for early stage investigators?

NINDS will fund additional R01 applications from early stage investigators with scores beyond the percentile payline with the aim of supporting these early career scientists at a success rate equivalent to that of established investigators submitting new R01 applications.

Which is the best payline for new investigators?

NIAID uses a higher R01 payline to make it easier for new investigators to get an award. Go to NIAID Paylines for current information. Other NIH institutes set special paylines for ESIs as well. Peer reviewers look more at your potential than achievement—they weigh your academic and research background heavily.

How often does the NIH pay for NINDS?

When an application is funded, NIH agrees to provide funds over several years (for example, the typical NINDS R01 award is funded for five years). Therefore, investigators request payment for the next budget period (usually, every year), but these requests do not compete with other applications.
