| NIH adjusts its grant cap scheme |
The NIH is revising the point system in its new scheme to limit total grant support for individual scientists. NIH is now excluding training grants, clinical trial networks, and infrastructure awards and has lowered the points assigned for a multi-investigator R01. Approximately 3% of current investigators would exceed the new limit.
