Well, if one is to believe the NSF and NIH themselves (and if you can't trust them, who can you trust), 2014 overall F30 funding rate was 39% while the NSF GRFP overall funding rate was 14%. These numbers will vary based on institute and NSF program but it's a good baseline.

You could have just asked Teh Googelz. It took me 30 seconds to get that information.
