What is the average budget for NIH R01?
The budget is typically less than $500,000 annually in direct costs. If you need more than that, you need to write a letter and get some prior approval for that.

*If this amount is $250,00 or less, submit a modular budget. If this amount is $250,001 - $499,999, submit a detailed budget. If your budget is $500,000 + for each year, you need to request approval ahead of time.
Accounting for the ARPA-H, the NIH FY2023 enacted program level is $49.183 billion. This FY2023 NIH program level is a $3 billion increase (+6.5%) relative to the FY2022 enacted program level of $46.183 billion. The FY2022 enacted total for NIH is also $13.324 billion (-21.3%) less than the FY2023 budget request.

An R01 is for mature research projects that are hypothesis-driven with strong preliminary data. R01s provide up to 5 years of support, with a budget that reflects the costs required to complete the project. If you have strong preliminary data supporting your hypothesis, we recommend applying for an R01.
Typically, principal investigators are in their early 40s upon first receiving an R01-equivalent grant award.
The R01 Grant
Funding for this grant category is extremely competitive; while NIH funds approximately 20% of grant applications, only 10% of R01 grants are funded. Grants are typically for 3-5 years and can be renewed.
The limit on a grantee's GSI will be 21 points, or the equivalent of three R01s. If an investigator applies for a grant that will bring their GSI over the cap, they will need to include "a plan in their applications for how they would adjust …
Budget Information: R21s use the module budget (in $25,000 modules). The total project period may not exceed two years. Direct costs: limited to $275,000 over two-year period. No more than $200,000 in direct costs are allowed in any single year.

- University of Michigan at Ann Arbor: $698,264,076.

Investigator-initiated applications for NIH funding are evaluated by peer review groups composed of scientists from outside the NIH. The peer review group evaluates the scientific and technical merit of the proposed research. These evaluations are used by the individual Institutes to determine which projects to fund.
In recent years, the success rates have ranged from around 20% to 30% which can be significantly higher than the A0 success rate (~11%), however, it's important to note that these rates can vary depending on the specific I/C and the funding cycle.
NIH grants are extremely competitive, so you're more likely to find success if you pursue other organizations first. Importantly, securing smaller grants may give you the funding you need to conduct preliminary research and gather the data you'll need to ultimately convince the NIH to support your work.
As a "rule of thumb," expect to devote 1 week of your life to writing a R01 equivalent grant application. That does not mean you will write it in a week, but that you should carve out 40-60 hours in your schedule. If this is your first time at the rodeo, then double that number--expect 80-120 hours.
NIGMS limits the length of most of its R01 grants to 4 years. However, 5-year R01 grants are made to most early stage investigators and to some new investigators, generally those early in their career, to provide extra time for getting their projects under way.
2) For R01-or equivalent grants (DoD, P01, U54 or SPORE project, >$200,000 per year in direct costs), a minimum of 30% effort must be charged to the grant if the PI does not have any additional R01-equivalent funding. For dual- or multi-PI applications, 25% effort should be charged for each principal investigator.
Impact scores run from 10 to 90, where 10 is best. Generally speaking, impact/priority scores of 10 to 30 are most likely to be funded; scores between 31 and 45 might be funded; scores greater than 46 are rarely funded.
NCI has seen an increase in unsolicited R21 applications from last year by 207 (1,770 vs. 1,563). In contrast to R01 funding patterns, where New Investigators (applicants who have never received an R01; Figure 7) have a success rate of 13%, the success rates for R21 funding of new investigators is 10%.
How long can an R01 title be?
Title: Limited to 200 characters (includes spaces and punctuation marks).
The NIH invests most of its nearly $48 billion budget1 in medical research for the American people.
Program Development Support. The most popular type of grant is for Program support. Program grants provide funding for specific projects or programs.
Request enough time to complete the clinical trial. You may request up to five years of support for an R01, six or seven years of support for an extended R01, and up to two years of support for an R21.
