NCI is increasing the R01 payline to the 12th percentile in fiscal year 2023, up from the 11th percentile in FY22—bringing the institute’s payline to a level not seen since 2010.
As NCI paylines drop to 4%, cancer centers are tapping into their institutional funds to provide “bridge funding,” typically in $50,000 to $100,000 increments, to enable investigators to keep their labs open until better times return—next year God willing.
