Total number of projects and associated direct costs for FYs 2009–2014 from NIH administrative data. Total positions and PYE projections for FYs 2010–2014 were calculated on the basis of the FY 2009 All Personnel Report estimates of the mean and se of the number of positions and PYE associated with a grant for a given activity code. For activity codes not used in FY 2009, a similar activity code, as determined by NIH staff, was used as a substitute. Total persons estimations for FYs 2010–2014 were calculated according to the person:position ratio in FY 2009, applied to the position totals for FYs 2010–2014.
All years adjusted to 2009 dollars by using the Biomedical Research and Development Price Index (BRDPI) (Source: Biomedical Research and Development Price Index, Updated 1-7-2014, see http://officeofbudget.od.nih.gov/gbiPriceIndexes.html). Excludes projects and positions funded through the ARRA.
