Navigating Grant Success in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Insights and Strategies

Over the past 15 years, NIH R01 success rates have declined from 30% to 18%, while NSF rates vary. This trend shows a general decrease towards 25-30%, particularly affecting early career researchers. New mandates like pre-screening solicitations, limits on grants per PI, and a focus on broader impacts—including economic and interdisciplinary partnerships—are shaping the funding landscape. To enhance your chances, avoid low-balling budgets, seek mentoring, collaborate with senior faculty, maintain ethical standards, and learn continuously while balancing work and life.

  1. Some Unsolicited Advice Mark R. Abbott College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences

  2. Success Rates • NIH R01 have declined over the last 15 years from 30% to 18% • NSF varies by division • Lots of wiggles in the trend line, but general decrease towards 25-30% • Early career success rates somewhat lower • More solicitations coming out with pre-screening, limits on number of grants/PI, etc.

  3. Mandates • Open access, data management • Broader impacts • Economic impacts • More interdisciplinary partnerships

  4. New Landscapes • Beyond the single PI grant • Education • Natural and social sciences • Deeper levels of “broader impacts” • Beyond “science-led” decision making

  5. Some To-Do’s and Some Not To-Do’s • Don’t low-ball (or pad) your budgets • Seek advice and mentoring • Work with senior faculty here and at other institutions • Engage with the larger community • Have the highest ethical standards • Learn your craft • Balance work and life
