*Success rates indicate the percentage of reviewed Research Project Grant applications that receive funding. This is computed on a fiscal year basis. Dividing the number of competing applications funded by the total number of competing applications reviewed determines success rates. Applications that have one or more amendments in the same fiscal year are only counted once.


**Includes Medical schools; excludes Overall Medical and School of Medicine and Dentistry.
