@drugmonkey.bsky.social invited me to start #Datahound years ago. He has helped inform me on many subjects and I will always appreciate his contributions to me and to the science communities.

A friend recently reminded me of a Datahound post I did entitled “Mind the Gap” about the timelines and probabilities of recovering from a loss of NIH funding.

This looks similar to what I had posted previously on Datahound with less year-to-year variation. By this analysis, FY2020 does not appear substantially different from other years despite the beginning of the COVID pandemic.

Not a surprise, but still a great quantification from Datahound @jeremymberg.bsky.social showing that >80% of the R01 proposals submitted to NIH now are non-modular and above the cap.
The community has now moved on from the modular cap with almost all R01 applications exceeding the $250 K cap.
Investigators who stay below the modular cap are disadvantaging themselves.

Hi Jeremy, so glad to see you, the Datahound, back here analyzing NIH grant funding trends and patterns! My biomedical scientific training started here in 1999, and no mod cap changes yet in 25 years. Pray tell, is there real hope that current and future NIH leadership are listening?

Examination of gaps in NIH funding including as a function of PI gender.
I have been working on this for a while and want to share it even in the midst of all the other insanity today.

After I left NIH, I continued to do analyses using publicly available data from NIH Reporter or data obtained from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. I posted many of these on my new blog Datahound.

Just a bit more checking and tweaking and I will post the indirect cost rates for all such institutions. Then I can go back and look at earlier years and examine trends over time...

And to provide context: Jeremy is a former head of NIGMS, former editor of Science Magazine and has taken a data driven approach to analyzing NIH funding data for a while now as “datahound.” He has access and influence, which is important rn

Today's post is some #Datahound analysis. I will shamelessly called these Bluey-torials (thanks to Josh Waitzman @jwaitz.bsky.social)
The topic is the growth of multiple PI (MPI) R01 grants and the effect on the grant size distribution.

Remarkably, negotiated indirect cost rates are not generally compiled in a publicly available place. They can generally found by googling F&A rates by institution, but they can also be deduced from the data in Reporter as I discussed at Datahound.

This led some other institutes to follow suit and then the Office of Extramural Research (first Sally Rockey then Mike Lauer). When I left NIH, I started Datahound (datahound.scientopia.org ) at his invitation.
