As of July 3, 2013, NIAID raised the FY 2013 paylines for R03 and R21. T32 payline remains interim at 14 overall impact score.
These paylines apply to applications reviewed for the September 2012, February 2013, and June 2013 Council meetings.
What is a "payline"?
A payline is a funding cutoff point for grant applications set each fiscal year after NIAID gets a budget, by balancing projected grant numbers, grant budgets, and money in the Institute's budget. NIAID initially sets paylines conservatively. Following the payline, the Institute funds most applications in percentile (for R01s only) or overall impact score order (for other grants) and may fund additional applications above the payline at the end of a fiscal year.
