Here NIAID sets fiscal year (FY) 2023 funding levels for grants, renewal cap, and selective pay and bridge pools. We update this page and the NIAID Paylines every FY.
Our most recent update was on February 6, 2023, to link to the Legislative Mandates in Effect for Fiscal Year 2023.
Competing Awards
- We are funding new competing awards with no percentage reduction in the approved funding level. We will reduce for salaries that exceed the salary cap.
- Renewal budgets for R01s are capped at 20 percent over the direct costs of the last noncompeting award, not including equipment or alterations and renovations costs.
- Salaries are limited to the levels published on Salary Cap, Stipends, & Training Funds.
- No inflationary increases are provided in calculating future years' commitments.
Noncompeting Awards
- We are funding noncompeting continuation awards at the level from the Notice of Award with no percentage reduction.
- Salaries are limited to the levels published on Salary Cap, Stipends, & Training Funds.
Set-Aside Funds
- Selective pay
- NIAID is setting aside $9 million ($3 million for each extramural program division).
- Note: Investigators cannot apply for selective pay funding. NIAID's main advisory Council ranks applications recommended by Institute program staff.
- R56-Bridge awards
- NIAID is setting aside $18 million ($6 million for each extramural program division).
- Note: Investigators cannot apply for R56-Bridge awards but must be nominated by NIAID program officers.
