13. NIH Extramural Data Book, Special Projects – last update May 2008Data provided by the Division of Information Services, Reporting Branch TR 13 TERMDEFINITIONADDITIONAL INFORMATION Success RatesIndicates the percentage of reviewed RPG 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: Applications having one or more amendments in the same fiscal year are only counted once. DEFINITIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
