How many $$$$$ is your title worth?

RWJF maintains a database of all awards they have granted since 1972; a number that comes up to around 30,000 awards. We’ve been looking more deeply at what wasn’t funded for another project, but I spend a moment looking at this database to see what trends we could see. If you are applying, and wonder what phrases are worth, try out the things in the graph below.

NOT A GUARANTEE OF FUNDING.

Otherwise, we’d submit a ton of grants with the title, “Tracking a Faculty Development Program to help kids.”
