F31 Priority Scores

That's very good! What's your percentile score? Usually lowest 10-15% gets funded, although it varies (my score was similar to yours with a higher than 10% priority score and it still got funded). Congrats!

Your funding will start at your specified start date.

Oh, I didn't know that, about not getting percentiles now-- must've been a pretty recent change. My experience is very limited, but my guess is that it's in the fundable range but not in the "it will certainly be funded" range. It may have a better chance if the reviews mainly suggest minor changes that you can address in a letter. Talk to your program officer once you get your summary statement (if you haven't already). Good luck!

Hi,

I just got my priority score for my F31 proposal and it is a 40. Can anybody tell me what this means for my chances of funding, re-submission, etc...? Thank you!

Unless they changed the scoring system, I think it means you're looking at the wrong number

Don't priority scores range from 100-500?

I just read that the priority score system recently changed and now ranges from 10 to 90. I cannot find for the life of me any more information than that. I sent my PO an email asking for further information but have yet to hear back. If anyone has any additional information that might help me decipher my score and chances for funding I'd greatly appreciate it!

Wow. This must have JUST gone through because we just got a score last month that was still under the old system.

Sorry - wish I could be more helpful, but hopefully your PO will have the answers about this new system.

The new scoring system was announced a while ago, but was just implemented in this most recent cycle of reviews.

From what I can gather, people are still trying to figure out how to interpret the new scores. But from talking to people who actually participated in this most recent round of reviews, it sounds like a 40 is probably not in the fundable range - maybe something close to a 200 using the old system?

But you won't know until you talk to your program officer - take advantage of your PO as a resource, and see what (s)he has to say!

ps. Just realized someone else posted something similar up top! It's nice to know that there's some convergence in understanding the new system!

I love that there are people applying for grants on the boards! Please hang around, a lot of us are going to be applying for NRSAs soon. Mine will be going in in December.

Congrats!!
