Our NCI R21 grant proposal received impact score: 14, Percentile: 1.0 (Role: PI). Impact scores run from 10 to 90, where 10 is best, and Percentile = 100 * (Rank - 0.5) / Total number of applications, These numbers are then rounded up, e.g., a percentile of 10.1 becomes 11, to create a whole number percentile ranging from 1 to 99.
