FIGURE 1: — The fraction of the NIGMS portfolio committed to investigator-initiated research has declined over the past two decades. The blue bars (left axis) show the funds NIGMS committed to funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) targeted at specific areas of research in each fiscal year shown. The red line with triangles shows the change in the percentage of the NIGMS portfolio dedicated to investigator-initiated research. The analysis does not include fellowship, career development, and training awards; programs transferred to NIGMS from the former National Center for Research Resources; and some other programs. Jim Deatherage (NIGMS) performed the data analysis.
