Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success.
Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302
The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

Also don’t consider any nominees, period.
This is a fascist regime that is murdering citizens and wrecking democracy. Full stop.

There are no guardrails against ICE. They are murdering people in the streets.
Stop mincing words. Vote no. Shut the whole thing down.
